The correct answer is: water saturated soil then heating the soil till it is dry and then measuring the weight of soil
The optimum or maximum amount of water retained per unit dry weight of soil after the stoppage of gravitational flow is called field capacity. Soil moisture beyond field capacity produces water logging. The soil with high water retention and low or negligible percolation rate is prone to water logging.
