soakage
Seeping into material
Soakage is the process of liquid seeping into or through something, or the amount absorbed: The soakage into the soil took several hours.
In Australian English, a soakage is a place where groundwater seeps to the surface or collects in sandy soil—a natural well that can be dug out for drinking water in arid regions.
