Question

Which type of soil holds the most water

Answer 1

Clay soil has small, fine particles, which is why it retains the most amount of water. Sand, with its larger particles and low nutritional content, retains the least amount of water, although it is easily replenished with water. Silt and loam, with medium-size particles, retain a moderate amount of water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Clay soil holds the most water.

Explanation:

Clay soil has the highest water holding capacity and sandy soil the least; clay> sludge> sand. The clay particles are very small and have many small holes in the hole, which slows down the movement of water (the highest ability to retain water). Sandy soil has good drainage but low water and nutrient retention capacity. The clay soil contains small fine particles, so it retains most of the water.
