What is soil permeability?
soil permeability is the amount of water soil can hold
Why would a farmer need to know the soil permeability on his land?
It's a way to know how well the soil on his land will retain moisture, and thus determine what crops are good to grow on that soil, or whether the enterprise of raising crops is even worth considering. Soils can be sandy (very high permeability = no water retention), clayey (very low permeability = too much water retention) or loamy (moderate permeability = ideal water retention).
What type of soil has low permeability and poor crop-growing potential and high nutrient-holding capacity?
Clay soils.
How does the permeability of soil and rocks affect the flow of groundwater?
Permeability is when water can pass through different types of soil and rocks. Therefore the permeability affects the soil and rocks because if the soil or rock is PERMEABLE then the groundwater can easily flow through it :)
What rock is low in porosity and low in permeability?
Most intrusive igneous rock is low in porosity and permeability.
