<span>The important characteristic of soil that determines the water holding capacity is the composition of the soil. The denser the soil the higher could be the capacity of holding water. clay of all soils have better capacity because it is dense with very small particles preventing the water to escape which is not the case with normal sand which may allow water to flow off.</span>
