In the Gopalganj-Khulna Beels, the soils comprise alrenating layers of organic matter in
various stages of decomposition between peat and muck. The organic deposits are up to 5m
thick. Some peats grade downward into muck and appear to be floating on water. Soils in
which muck occurs at a shallow depth have a very low bearing capacity. The organic deposits
overlie clay at depth and some include clay layers between successive organic layers.
