Puddles

Puddles are small pools of water that collect on the ground after rain or precipitation. They form when water cannot quickly soak into the soil or drain away, often settling in low spots or depressions. Puddles are usually temporary, evaporating or soaking in over time. They can also result from leaks or overflows. They’re essential in local ecosystems, providing water for insects and small animals, and can sometimes indicate drainage issues. Overall, puddles are simple accumulations of water shaped by the terrain and weather conditions.
