Question

The water holding capacity is higher in which soil??​

Answer 1

Clay soil



Soils with smaller particles (silt and clay) have a larger surface area than those with larger sand particles, and a large surface area allows a soil to hold more water. In other words, a soil with a high percentage of silt and clay particles, which describes fine soil, has a higher water-holding capacity.

Answer 2

clay soil

Step-by-step explanation:

The particles of the clay soil are compacted and therefore restrict a maximum flow of the water molecules.
