Absorption of water into the soil is also regulated by gravity. Thus, the greater the surface area of the soil, such as one with lots of clay, silt and organic matter, the water will not drain as fast and will absorb more evenly throughout the soil.

Answer:
To calculate the absorption of water by soil-
- Take a plastic funnel. Fold the filter paper (or newspaper) and place it.
- Weigh 50g of dry powdered soil and pour it into the hopper.
- Measure a certain amount of water with a graduated cylinder and pour it drop by drop onto the soil.
- For this purpose, you can use an eyedropper. Don't let all the waterfalls be in one place.
- Water the earth. Continue pouring water until it drips. Subtract the amount of water left in the graduated cylinder from the original amount.
- This is the amount of water that the soil holds.
- Record your findings in your notebook by:
- Soil weight = 50g
- Initial volume of water in graduated cylinder = U mL
- The final volume of water in graduated cylinder = V mL
- Amount of water absorbed by the soil = (U-V) mL
- Weight of water absorbed by soil = (U-V)g
- (1ml of water weighs 1g)
- Percentage of water absorbed = 50 (ultraviolet rays) x 100
