because of more organic material mixed in garden soil which absorb and hold water as compare to road side soil.

Air has more capacity to hold water at what?
Air has more capacity to hold water when the air is warmer. The colder the air is, the less water it can hold.
Which soil has water holding capacity?
soil that is made up of about equal parts of clay, sand, and silt is called loam. it has a crumbly texture that holds both air and water. loam is best for growing most types of plants.
How can you prevent well water overflow?
You may have an artesian well. Pipe some of it to a holding tank for periods when you need more.
Which property of water explains why coastal areas of land have a more constant temperature than inland areas?
Heat Capacity.
What happens when soil block the flow of water though soil?
The soil is at "field capacity". In other words the capillary spaces are already full of water to the surface, hence no more water can be absorbed.
Air has more capacity to hold water at what?
Air has more capacity to hold water when the air is warmer. The colder the air is, the less water it can hold.
What impacts the temperature of water?
yes it does, water has a high specific heat capacity because the hydrogen bonds are stronger than the usual forces holding a liquid together, stronger bonds need more energy to break.
What are the negatives about an urban garden?
in a garden we should be careful of thorns and insects. it takes more water.
Why does salt water evaporate slower than fresh water?
The specific heat capacity of water is about 4.18kJ/kg*K while the specific heat of seawater is about 3.95kJ/kg*K Specific heat capacity is a measure of heat required to increase temperature of something by Celsius or Kelvin. Since water's heat capacity is great than that of seawater, then it takes more heat to bring its temperature up
Which soil has water holding capacity?

How can soils with poor water retention properties be improved?
In order to make a soil retain more water, you have to add a substance to it that retains more water. Typically this is done by adding organic matter, though in some situations clay can be added. The addition of composted organic matter increases the water holding capacity of soils, as well as increasing soil fertility.
How much is the capacity of a water cooler?
The capacity of a water cooler varies, it depends upon the requirement as for schools, hospitals, leisure centers and many more.
How does heat capacity makes water a good heat sink?
If a body of water has a high heat capacity, it can store more thermal energy making it a good heat sink.
Why does dew appear in early morning and not at noon?
the air capacity for holding water depends on temp'. the warmer it is the more water vapour it can hold. during the night air temp' drops to its lowest near dawn at which point the amout of water vapour in the air may exceed its reduced capacity (this point is called the dew point) and water vapour condences and forms dew.
Does metal with high heat capacity raise temperature of water more than a metal with low heat capacity?
yes
Why do we see dew drops on the leaves in the early morning?
When the surface of an object becomes colder as a result of sending its latent heat out, the existing moisture in the atmosphere contracts among itself. the air capacity for holding water depends on temp'. the warmer it is the more water vapor it can hold. during the night air temp' drops to its lowest near dawn at which point the amount of water vapor in the air may exceed its reduced capacity (this point is called the dew point) and water vapor condenses and forms dew.
Does the temperature of water change more slowly than the temperature of land?
Yes, water has a higher thermal capacity.
