Water enters the pores in the gravel. The water can flow in many different directions through the gravel.

The water finds open pores and fills them.

The water fills most but not all of the pores in the gravel.

Water enters the channels in the

limestone.

The water can flow in many different

directions in the limestone.

The water can move faster through the

large channels in the limestone than through
