Answer:
Percolation property of any material is linked to its porosity. Different soils have different porosity. Therefore, water percolates differently through different soil.
Percolation rate of water in the soil = Volume of water percolated / Time taken for percolation
Whereas, water retaining capacity of a soil is described in terms of the amount of water absorbed by a particular type of soil. High water retaining capacity means higher water absorption.
