Groundwater flow is generally affected by three factors. First is soil particle size. Water flows faster through sand than through silt or clay. Second is slope. Land with a greater slope or contour allows the water to flow faster. Third is the size of the aquifer. Smaller aquifers generally flow faster than larger aquifers.
