Water cannot enter through an impermeable layer, as the name suggests.

A stratum or layer that prohibits or restricts the saturated movement of water in the soil serves as an impermeable layer or barrier for the purpose of subsurface drainage planning. Finding the layer, sometimes referred to as the barrier stratum, barrier layer, barrier zone, or impermeable boundary, frequently requires knowledge of the geology.
