Answer:
The sandy soil has the highest percolation rate and it allows rainwater not to reach at the greatest depth and hold the water for a short period of time. Sandy soil retains the least rainwater in it. Lower will be the percolation rate the soil will hold the water for a long time.

Answer:
1)Sandy soil is quite loose, so the percolation rate of water is highest in sandy soil.
2) Clayey soil is very compact. So, the percolation rate of water is lowest in the clayey soil. The sandy soil (having the highest percolation rate) allows the rainwater to reach a well faster and in greater amount.
