Clayey soil has maximum decantation power.

Explanation:

  • Decantation power is maximum when there is a difference in the specific gravity between the constituent of the soil.
  • Clay soil is rich in humus.
  • the density of humus is much less as compared to the density of cli.
  • As a result when Alluvial soil or clay soil is suspended in pure water ,the humus settle slow as compared to that of clay.
  • So the components of the clay soil can be easily separated from each other.
  • hence clay soil has maximum decantation power since it is a mixture of clay, humus , organic material and small pieces of fine stone.
