Answer 2

The soil water retention process is used to retain the moisture of the soil.

• The soil's ability to preserve the moisture in it is called soil water retention.
• Soils receive water through rains and various other sources.
• Gravity always pulls this water downwards.
• The rate at which this water flows downwards will depend on the soil's water retention capacity.
• Good retention capacity is essential for healthy soil and for the healthy growth of plants on it.
• Such soils do not have to be watered often and they can survive droughts for a longer duration.
• Tilling the soil less frequently and increasing the quantity of organic matter in the soil are ways to increase soil water retention.
