The sandy soils let the water pass through but the clay soils hold the water
Loose or sandy soils allow water to percolate(pass) through them faster
Water can easily move through sandy soils, wheras clay-rich soil is much harder for water to penetrate, so sandy soils are drier.
Some water may run on the surface and travel into lakes or streams. While some water may infiltrate (go deeper) into soils until it recharges (or reaches) a water table aquifer (water-saturated soils or sediments).

Infiltrate v. -to filter in or through; penetrate
It will infiltrate until it hits bedrock.
no will infiltrate surface materials that are permeable and unsaturated

Some soils have a large volume of pore space,but the individual pores are too small to allowwater to pass through.
reason is how soil packed.
Usually small grains pack together well and there are only tiny air gaps between them for water to trickle through. Soils like this drain slowly. Clay soils are an example. Conversely, large grains leave large gaps between them and this allows water to flow freely. Sandy soils are like this.
