Water is one of the things that can fit itself into most places. It always finds openings in the objects that it is seeping into. When things are pressed together more and more firmly, the harder it gets for water to find an opening.
Hard soil is often referred to as compacted soil. This is soil that has been densely packed together, making it difficult for roots to penetrate and water to penetrate.
Compacted soil absorbs less water when wet, as the pores in the soil become filled with water and limit additional water flow into the soil. When the soil is dry, the pores are more open, allowing for better water absorption.
Mango trees require well-draining soil to thrive because compacted soil restricts root development, leading to poor nutrient and water uptake. This can result in stunted growth and reduced fruit production in mango trees.
Soil can affect flooding by influencing how quickly water is absorbed or runs off the surface. Healthy soil with good structure and organic matter can help absorb more water, reducing surface runoff and the likelihood of flooding. Conversely, compacted or degraded soil can increase runoff and contribute to flooding by preventing water from infiltrating the ground.
Clay soil is typically smooth and slippery when wet due to its fine particles and high water retention. It can become sticky and difficult to work with when wet, and hard and compacted when dry.

Water is absorbed by plants through the soil. When water is poured into the soil, the roots of the plant soak in the moisture from the soil, which allows the nutrients and vitamins to thrive.
If soil doesn't soak up water, it often indicates a lack of sufficient organic matter or soil structure, which can lead to compacted or hydrophobic conditions. Healthy soils typically contain ample organic material that helps improve water retention and infiltration. Additionally, insufficient soil aeration can prevent water from being absorbed effectively.

Search the net for info on the effects of diluted raw milk (not pastuerized). Havent tried it myself, but sounds promising. For the manufactured approach, i have heard good things about "earthright soil conditioner"
percolation
The region where water from rain and snow is absorbed into the soil is called the "infiltration zone." This zone allows water to percolate through the soil and replenish groundwater sources.
