Question

Why can areas of land hold more water than other areas

Answer 1

It depends on soil texture and organic matter.

Step-by-step explanation:

organic matter, compaction, and salt concentration of the soil. Organic matter increases a soil's ability to hold water, both directly and indirectly. When soil is at field capacity, organic matter has a higher water-holding capacity than a similar volume of mineral soil.

Answer 2

Answer: The larger the surface area the easier it is for the soil to hold onto water so it has a higher water holding capacity

Step-by-step explanation:

Because soil can absorb twice it size in water
