Water Contains shows us in what percentage water is present in whole soil sample. soils moisture content can range from 0 to 300 percent. Water contain can't be greater than 100% cause it's impossible to get obtain marks greater than the total marks.

U said that it is impossible to get more marks than total marks... I agree with this.. but based on ur above statement water content will be lessthan/ equals to 100then answer will not be >100%try to explain this....

Water content is a ratio of weight of water to the weight of soil solids.so it can be greater than be 100 percent.if it will be a ratio of weight of water to the total weight of soil ,then it will not possible.
