AIM: To compare the water retaining capacity of sandy, loamy, and clayey soils.
APPARATUS: Filter funnel, cotton wool, measuring cylinder, sandy soil, loamy soil, and clayey soil samples, water.
METHOD: Fill the filter funnels with equal amounts of each soil type, add water, and measure the volume of water retained by each soil type over time.
(4b)
Draw the diagram
(4bi)
OBSERVATION:
(i) Sandy soil will allow water to pass through quickly and retain the least amount.
(ii) Loamy soil will have moderate water retention.
(iii) Clayey soil will retain the most water with slower passage.
(4bii)
CONCLUSION:
(i) Sandy soil has the lowest water retaining capacity.
(ii) Loamy soil has a moderate water retaining capacity.
(iii) Clayey soil has the highest water retaining capacity.
