There are four principal sources of water to consider that can affect the track [78]:

    Rainfall directly on the track structure.

    Surface water flowing toward and infiltrating the track structure.

    Water flowing within the track structure, e.g., within ballast pockets (par. 19.6.2) or fill used to construct the embankment.

    Groundwater.
