Ocena gleb piaszczystych o opadowo-retencyjnym typie zasilania wodą na podstawie badania eksperymentalnego dotyczącego podsiąku kapilarnego
Assessment of sandy soils with a rainfall-retention type of water supply based on an experimental study on capillary rise

Summary/Abstract: Fine-grained sand was used in the experiment. It was confirmed that the capillary underflow increases soil moisture and slows down the flow of rainwater. The article demonstrates that capillary rise also occurs in soils made of sand. In sandy soils, the occurrence of groundwater is very important, because it affects the increase of humidity in the entire soil profile. Depriving sandy soil of the possibility of using groundwater (e.g. within the depression cone) prevents the best use of rainwater and causes worse humidity conditions.
