What is the relation between Porosity, permeability and capillary rise ?

Kiran said:   7 years ago
Presence of organic matter in the soil.

Not pressure of organic matter.

Krishna said:   9 years ago
Clay is more porous than sand and sand has more permeability than clay.

Ayon said:   8 years ago
Yes, porosity (No of the pore) is more in clay but it's not continuous.

Santosh Kumar said:   3 years ago
Of course, Clay is more porous but quite less permeable than sand.

I think porosity is the number of pores. Not the holding capacity.

The particle size range for sand as per IS soil classification?

Bunu said:   8 years ago
Aluminous cement is used for what type of chemical deposit?

Vikram said:   9 years ago
Clay is impermeable in nature.

Sand has high permeability.

Karan said:   9 years ago
This answer is wrong as sands are more porous clays.
