The most common method used for soil texture determination involves soil texture triangle to distinguish the textural classes. The classification depends on the amount of percent sand, silt, and clay in a given sample. Soil texture plays an important role in retention of soil moisture as clay ...
Figure 1. Soil textural triangle. Texture is an important property when evaluating the wastewater renovation potential of soil. Basic assumptions can be made as to the hydraulic and chemical properties by knowing the texture. It is assumed that a soil that is dominated by sand-sized particles wil...
