This agricultural science book details how soil, subsoil, and underlying clays and shales interact with water. The author observed that moisture increases downward from the surface of the soil and inward from the surfaces exposed in cuttings, indicating that it is supplied from below and within. He infers that the water supply is not limited to the most recent rainfall or snowfall but instead comes from deep within the earth's crust through a process of capillary action. This subterranean water supply is what enables agriculture to thrive in areas with seemingly low rainfall.
