Answer: Percolation
Explanation: It is the ability of water to sip in into the ground. Percolation is the process wherein the ground absorbs water up to the amount it can hold. When the soil or ground is saturated with water it loses its ability to absorb water and causes it to run off. Unsaturated ground can absorb more water through percolation process.
Salinity refers to an increase in the dissolved salt content of a body of water. Salinity has great impacts on the type of organisms that live inside the water. In the question given above, the salinity occurs as a result of non natural influence; since most of the organisms living inside the water before probably have specific optimal salinity range, if the salinity exceed the range they can cope with, they will probably migrate away from the water, those that refuse to migrate will probably die out and new species which can cope with the salinity level will emerge.
