in the \simple water model,\ where did the water go that was raining down on the surface?
the water all pooled up on the surface and made a big lake.
the water infiltrated the soil and drained all the way to the bottom of the simulation screen.
the water infiltrated the surface and pooled at the bottom of the brown/tan layers but above the impermeable black/gray layer.

Explanation:

In a simple water infiltration model, permeable upper soil layers (brown/tan) allow water to seep in, while an impermeable lower layer (black/gray) stops water from draining further, causing it to pool above this barrier. Surface pooling only occurs if infiltration is impossible, and full drainage to the screen bottom requires no impermeable layer, which is not standard in this model.

Answer:

The water infiltrated the surface and pooled at the bottom of the brown/tan layers but above the impermeable black/gray layer.
