Question

A landscaper is shopping for landscaping materials. She wants to use materials through which water flows easily.

Answer 1

Hey! Here is your answer,

She should be using clay, gravel, loosely packed soil-

These materials which have greater porosity will allow the flow of water from them.

• Clay particles although remain in the aggregated form do exhibit the large number of small pores which can allow the water seep inside the soil.

• Gravel is a loose aggregate of rock fragments hence, it will also have pores and will allow the water to pass.

• Loosely packed soil will have appreciable amounts of pores therefore will allow the flow of water.
