Drainage is an important parameter to be considered while stabilizing sandy soil. Correct Answer True

Sandy soils have granular texture and are non-cohesive in nature. If flooding or water seepage occurs, then it would result in the erosion of the sandy soil. So, an appropriate method of stabilization that would take care of drainage must be used.
