Summary
| Description |
English: The structure of a hydrophobic sand particle versus an unaffected soil particle. The hydrophobic soil particle is coated in a wax-like lipid compound with a hydrophilic head is attached to the individual particle and the hydrophobic tail is surrounding the outside of the particle. This hydrophobic tail shields any water from being absorbed by soil particles when many are affected. The unaffected sand particle does not have this coating meaning that water can infiltrate through the sandy soil. |
