Water Management

The type of soil affects how much water it can hold and how long it keeps the water. Sandy soil holds less water than loamy soil. Different layers of soil have different amounts of water, with some layers holding onto water longer. The soil moisture in certain layers helps plants grow. Water from irrigation can change how water is distributed in the soil, affecting plant growth.
