Solution

While a soil with good tilth is generally well-drained and has good porosity, the extent of free drainage up to the water table depends on various factors such as soil texture, structure, and groundwater conditions. It is not necessary for a soil with good tilth to have free drainage up to the water table. The capillary and non-capillary pores in the soil play a crucial role in water movement and retention. Capillary pores are smaller pores that retain water against the force of gravity, while non-capillary pores are larger pores that allow for free movement of air and drainage.
