Do clay soils have more permeability than sandy soils?
Sandy soils are much more permeable that clay soils.
Porosity is the amount of pore space in soils. Permeability is the ability of water to pass through the soil. Why do some soils have high porosity but low permeability?
Some soils have a large volume of pore space,but the individual pores are too small to allowwater to pass through.
What is soils ability to transmit water?
I think the word you're looking for is "permeability."

How does particle size affect permeability and porosity and capillarity in aquifers?
Percolation is the amount of water that enters soil during a given timeframe. Different soil types have different rates and the size of the particle affect how quickly the water will penetrate the water.
Some ponds are designed to increase the amount of water seeping into the ground. These types of ponds will fail to work properly in -?
soils with low permeability
