Is it true that maximum groundwater infiltration depth is determined by soil lithology and water table depth?

Yes. Maximum groundwater infiltration depth is strongly controlled by subsurface lithology and the depth to the water table, as confirmed by hydrological and multi-criteria spatial analyses.

The analysis

The retrieved literature repeatedly emphasizes that lithology, soil characteristics, and water table depth are primary controls governing groundwater recharge, infiltration, and potential distribution.
