Coupling effects of particle size and particle interactions on soil water movement are not clear.  Large clay contents can decrease or increase soil water movement depending on soil particle interaction forces.  Fast water movement occurred in soil with strongly polarized cations and large clay content.  Particle interaction forces and particle-size distribution were strongly coupled in soil water movement.
