Detailed explanation-1: -The available water content depends greatly on the soil texture and structure . A range of values for different types of soil is given in the following table. The field capacity, permanent wilting point (PWP) and available water content are called the soil moisture characteristics.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water-holding capacity (WHC) (or water-binding capacity, or water-absorption capacity) is a measure of the total amount of water that can be absorbed per gram of a protein powder. This property is based on the direct interaction of protein molecules with water and other solutes.
