Water holding capacity refers to the amount of water held or 'stored' in the soil and which is available for plant growth and use. Water holding capacity is determined by several factors, some of which we can manage by cultural practices while others are beyond our reach. Some of these factors are listed below:

a) Organic matter content

b) Soil texture

c) Water infiltration capacity of the soil

d) Depth of the rooting zone

e) Soil structure and aggrgation

What is the dependant variable the height of bean plants depends on the amount of water they receive?

In this experiment, the dependent variable is the height of the bean plants. This is because the height is what you measure in response to changes in the independent variable, which is the amount of water the plants receive. As the amount of water varies, you observe how it affects the growth and height of the plants.


How much does a soaked bath towel weigh?

The weight of a soaked bath towel will depend on various factors such as the size and thickness of the towel, the material it is made of, and the amount of water it has absorbed. On average, a standard bath towel can weigh anywhere from 1.5 to 3 pounds when soaked. It is important to note that the weight can vary significantly based on these factors.

What has the greatest affect on the quality of groundwater?

One factor would be the amount of rainfall in the area. If not a lot of water would rain in a specific area than the ground water amount would be very low, and if there were a lot of rain in the area the water amount would be high. Another factor could be the amount of plants in the area. If there were little plants in the area, the plants would suck up the water but not very much of it. But if it was an area with a lot of plants, the plants would suck up a big amount of water.

What affects the amount of water that is soaked in to the ground?

The amount of water soaked into the ground is influenced by factors such as soil type, slope of the terrain, vegetation cover, and intensity/duration of rainfall. Soil with good porosity and permeability allows for more water infiltration, while compacted or impermeable soils may lead to water runoff instead of infiltration. Steeper slopes can result in faster runoff, while vegetation and organic matter on the soil surface can help slow down water movement and promote infiltration.
