Explanation: Clay can have a very high porosity. Because its grains are very small, there are a lot of (small) pore spaces in between them. What clay does not have is good permeability, which is a measure of how "connected" these pore spaces are. Clay can hold a lot of water, but it doesn't let it flow very well.
Consider the following statements:
1. Coarse sand is more than a million times permeable than a high plasticity clay.
2. The permeability depends on the nature of soil and not on properties of liquid flowing through soil.
3. If a sample of sand and a sample of clay have the same void ratio, both samples will exhibit the same permeability.
4. Permeability of soil decreases as the effective stress acting on the soil increases.
