			== Types of Pores ==
			Soil pores are where the liquid and gaseous portions of soil are found. Capillary power is dependent on the type and size of the pores in a material.

	Porosity is concentration of the spaces between particles of a material. In [[soil]] science, pore spaces are indicative of soil types, composition, and particle size. Similar to porosity is permeability, the measure of a material to transport fluids, while porosity is the measure of a material to hold fluids. Together porosity and permeability show the drainage capabilities of soils, rocks, and other substrates.		Porosity is concentration of the spaces between particles of a material.

	The porosity of a rock, for instance, is calculated by dividing the total volume of pore space by the total volume of the rock. This information is important in geology, soil science, and for construction projects as well as investigations of a site for environmental impact statements. There are general categories that porosity falls into: no pores which means it is not porous or permeable, unconnected pore spaces making the material porous and non-permeable, or connected pore spaces which makes the material porous and permeable. In terms of particles in soils, [[clay]] is the most porous with the smallest particle sizes, [[silt]] falls in the middle in terms of porosity, and [[sand]] is porous as well as permeable. Clays have an astounding porosity capability and are not considered permeable as they can stop the flow of water in soils.
