hi!
what do you mean by different types of soil holding different amounts of water? Are you asking about how much water a certain sample of soil could absorb? If you are, I found one site about the soil:
http://www.uwsp.edu/geO/faculty/ritter/ ... nce_1.html
Look under soil moisture storage
hope this helps!

OH! I think I understand what you are asking. Sorry... my brain is a little muddled after all of my studying. Here are some more sites that might be useful:

Hi,
This is a major focus of my research, so if you can provide more specific information about your project I can probably give some substantial help.
For starters, you should do web searches for the terms "moisture retention" and "field capacity". Let us know if you have any problems or questions about that.
