- The property of something that cannot be pervaded by a liquid
- (impermeable) preventing especially liquids to pass or diffuse through; "impermeable stone"; "an impermeable layer of scum"; "a coat impermeable to rain"
- The quality of being impermeable
- (impermeable) impossible to permeate; not allowing passage, especially of liquids; waterproof
- (Impermeable) Not easily penetrated by water.
- (impermeable) Impervious to the flow of water or other geofluids. An impermeable rock has extreme resistance to flow. The rock might be porous, but the pores must be connected to provide permeability. Also see permeability.
- (impermeable) Not easily penetrated, The property of a material or soil that does not allow, or allows only with great difficulty, the movement or passage of water.
- (Impermeable) A characteristic of some geologic material that limits its ability to transmit significant quantities of water under the head differences ordinarily found in the subsurface (after ASCE, 1985).
- (Impermeable) A layer that can not be infiltrated, usually because it has not got any or enough pores.
