A soil's structure will affect how much water the soil retains. True False

Answer 1

True soil structure will affect how much water the soil retains.

Soil retains water through pores, water has a high infiltration rate when going into granular soils but a very low infiltration rate when going into compact soils. For example, sandy soils that are often seen in Western Australia have very limited ability to retain water.
