Their loss is critical in determining the soil's water-holding capacity and how well pasture plants do during dry weather.

Ebb and flow systems come on according to the water-holding capacity of the medium in which the roots sit.

Add compost to increase the soil's water-holding capacity, and mulch the beds two to three inches deep to reduce evaporation.

Intensive land development and widespread deforestation have undermined the water-holding capacity of the watershed.

The greater the water-holding capacity of the bran, the greater the effect on fecal weight.

The development of the watershed has reduced the water-holding capacity of the landscape and altered the natural flow dynamics within the river system.

Any of these materials can be worked into the soil to increase the water-holding capacity.

The key is to plan water management, to design a water-conserving landscape and to work with the soil to increase its water-holding capacity.

Without adequate water, fiber, which increases the water-holding capacity of the stool, can be constipating.

The latter have the large water-holding capacity.
