up to 12 inches of water.
depends on type of soils
some water is held so tight that the roots of plants can not grab the water so that they can photosynthesis............ thanks so much for looking at my answer!!! love you sexy
The characteristics of soil that determine how much water it can hold include its texture, structure, and organic matter content. Soil with small particles like clay can hold more water than sandy soil due to greater surface area for water retention. Soil structure influences porosity and water infiltration, while organic matter helps retain moisture by improving soil structure and holding capacity.
soil texture deterimines how much water soil can hold
The percentage of water required to saturate soil is typically around 25-30%. This level of water saturation allows the soil to reach its maximum capacity to hold water before it starts to drain excess water.
Some soils hold more water than others due to differences in their texture and composition. Soils with a higher clay content tend to hold more water because clay particles are smaller and have more surface area to hold onto water. Additionally, soils with high organic matter content can hold more water due to the presence of organic molecules that can absorb and retain moisture.
Soil characteristics such as texture, structure, and porosity influence how water moves through soil. Soil with fine particles like clay tends to hold water tightly, while sandy soil allows water to pass through quickly. Soil structure affects water infiltration and retention, and porosity determines how much water can be stored in the soil.
How muddy do you want it to be.
Clayey soil hold the most water of all, as sand and chalk. Loamy soil holds water but not as much as clayey.

It may seem that dry soil can hold more water but that's not the case. If it is the same soil used in two different tests, then wet or dry, the soil will hold the same amount of water. The water soaked soil would appear to hold less water because it is already absorbing it's capacity (or closer to it), whereas the dry soil will hold just as much but will take more water to reach it's "soaked" point since it is dry and void of moisture.
Yes because diffrent types of soil have diffrent amounts of density
the answer to this question is that Soil with smaller particles can hold more water when Soil with larger rock particles can hold less water.....

It becomes fluid mud and can flow.
