Answer:

When water flows through a permeable soil layer and reaches a clay layer, it pools on top of the clay layer.

Explanation:

  • Permeable membrane is the one that allows any solution to penetrate into itself. A well is constructed to hold the water, by making it impermeable the water does not get lost.
  • Whereas the water flowing through permeable layer comes out completely. When it starts flowing through the clay layer, it floats on the top of the layer as clay is impermeable.
