Le colmatage est le phénomène par lequel un système poreux ou filtrant se retrouve obstrué, bouché, jointés, empêchant le passage du fluide qui pouvait le traverser. Il est par exemple question de colmatage pour les lits des cours d'eau lentiques ou pour décrire l'évolution d'un système percolant. Le degré de colmatage peut être évalué au moyen de la Loi de Darcy.
