Hydrologic Soil Groups Breakdown


Explanation:
Soils are classified into hydrologic soils groups (HSG's) to indicate the minimum rate of infiltration obtained for bare soil after prolonged wetting. An "A" HSG indicates sand, loamy sand, or sandy loam. A "B" HSG indicates silt loam or loam. A "C" HSG indicates sandy clay loam. Finally, a "D" HSG indicates clay loam, silty clay loam, sandy clay, silty clay, or clay. If there is a slash between two HSG, this represents "drained"/"undrained".
