Because water holding capacity of laom is very good.
alluvial soil
Water holding capacity refers to how well the soil holds water. Good holding capacity is important because without it, farmers are required to install an irrigation system. Soil with good water holding capacity means higher profits for crop growers.
Loam is the best soil because it has moderate aeration & water holding capacity. :) --ynah*
I have got WHC of CLAY Soil- 45% sandy soil- 25%
the water holding capacity of the loamy soil is very easy

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.
The effect of soil erosion on earth is that it leads to the removal of fertile soil. It leads to the lessening of water holding capacity of soil.
Clay has the ability to absorb water the best Silt loam, tend to have the greatest available water holding capacity. Ref - http://www.soil.ncsu.edu/publications/Soilfacts/AG-439-77W.pdf
Clay, particles are very fine, which means it has a high surface area, this results in it having a high water holding capacity
because of more organic material mixed in garden soil which absorb and hold water as compare to road side soil.
Clay has the highest water holding capacity. This is because clay is made up very small tightly packed particles that do not allow water to percolate through.
