Dear student,
Please find below the answer:

Infiltration rate
Percolation rate

Infiltration rate in the soil is a measure of the
rate at which soil is able to absorb rainfall or irrigation It is
measured in inches per hour or millimetres per hour
Percolation rate is defined as the rate at which
fluid is filtered through porous materials

Infiltration is the process by which water on the
ground surface enters the soil
Percolation is concerned with the movement and
filtering of fluids through porous materials

Hope this clears your doubt
Regards
