Ville ry soils have a coarse-loamy particle size control section and are on plains. <br /> Wilid soils have argillic horizons and are on plains. <br /> DRAINAGE AND SATURATED HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY: <br /> Drainage: Well drained <br /> Saturated hydraulic conductivity: moderately high or high <br /> https://soilseries.sc.egov.usda.gov/OSD_Docs/K/KIMERA.html 314 <br />
