[Method] With soils from an ancient course in the Yel ow River as materials, acrylate SAP was taken as water retention materials to conduct the test. [Result] With 0.2%-0.4% SAP added, dewatering period of sandy soil extended after irrigation; the period of water retention quantity over 10% last for 42 d, which was significantly more than that of the control group in 16 d (saturated water reducing to 10%); water retention effect proved better at the 2nd irrigation without soil stirring compared with the 1st irrigation. [Conclusion] The mixture of SAP with sandy soils promotes water retention in soils.展开更多
