Properties of soils in arid and semi-arid regions are mainly influenced by parent materials. Texture is one of the most important physical soil properties, which greatly affects many of other properties including infiltration rate, water capacity, and fertility. In limy soils, lime might affect different constituents of the accumulated soil as well as the textural class. Identification of physicochemical properties of soils is highly significant in structural operations. For the current analysis, five soil series of Doroudzan Dam Region were selected based on the information acquired from elaborate pedology study maps, topographic and geological maps, aerial photos, and satellite images. In these 5 series, the soil profile was excavated and 4 soil samples were collected and the relevant pedological tests were carried out. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to analyze the physical and chemical properties of the regional soils under study taking into account the drainage conditions and the elapsed time
