The process of flowing of the water through the soil under some Energy/pressure head is known as seepage of flow.
It is very important to control the seepage in case of the dams, retaining walls, reservoirs and canals, so it is important to study the seepage of fluid through soils.
The path followed by the water particles along the soil is known as the flow lines.
The space between two flow lines is known as the flow channel.
The lines joining the points of equal potential energy/ head are known as the equipotential lines.
The diagrams showing the flow lines and the equipotential lines are known as the flow nets.
