How fast water can go through sandy soil then silty soil?

Answer 1

The water will go through the soil but not as fast as the regular-or dirt but sand it will go through very slow butt if you have very little sand it will go through it just a little bit faster than all that sand that you put in a jar to play with or stor away some time for your kids or your self to pla with butt any wayhe water will go through mud and dirt faster than sand but you should know that wright.

Hopefully you don't know that, because it is WRONG! In fact, the opposite is true. Water flows through the tiny void spaces between the soil particles. That is, the larger the void spaces the greater the velocity of water flowing through the soils. So now we just need to know the void ratio of different types of soils. In simplest terms, the smaller the particles, the smaller the void ratio. However, the void ratio is also dependent on the angularity and shape of the soil, the moisture content of the soil and the density of the soil. But for all things equal, the velocity of water following through the following soil types are listed in order of greatest to smallest:

Boulders (Fastest)

Gravel (Fast)

Sand (Average)

Silt (Medium Slow)

Clay (Slow)

This is a very simplified answer.
