Liquid Saturation

Liquid saturation refers to the amount of a liquid within a porous material, like soil or rock, at which it completely fills all the pores without any empty space. When saturation is 100%, the pores are fully occupied by the liquid. If it’s less than 100%, some pore spaces are empty or filled with air. Understanding saturation helps in fields like hydrology, petroleum engineering, and environmental science, as it influences how fluids move and interact within underground materials. Essentially, it measures how "full" the material is with liquid.
