Dampige

Dampige is a term used in the field of geology and hydrology to describe the process by which water is absorbed into the ground, particularly into the soil and rock layers beneath the Earth's surface. This process is crucial in the water cycle, as it helps to replenish groundwater reserves and influences the flow of rivers and streams. Dampige occurs when precipitation, such as rain or snowmelt, seeps into the ground rather than running off into surface water bodies. The rate at which dampige occurs depends on various factors, including the type of soil, the presence of vegetation, and the underlying geology. Excessive dampige can lead to waterlogging and soil erosion, while insufficient dampige can result in drought conditions. Understanding dampige is essential for managing water resources, predicting floods, and mitigating the impacts of climate change.
