  2. Water content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_content

    Water content or moisture content is the quantity of water contained in a material, such as soil (called soil moisture), rock, ceramics, crops, or wood. Water content is used in a wide range of scientific and technical areas, and is expressed as a ratio, which can range from 0 (completely dry) to the value of the materials' porosity at saturation.

  3. Water retention curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_retention_curve

    Water retention curve is the relationship between the water content, θ, and the soil water potential, ψ. The soil moisture curve is characteristic for different types of soil, and is also called the soil moisture characteristic. It is used to predict the soil water storage, water supply to the plants (field capacity) and soil aggregate stability.

  4. Soil moisture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_moisture

    A historic surface soil moisture change in the Horn of Africa from August 2020 - December 2022. Soil moisture is the water content of the soil. It can be expressed in terms of volume or weight. Soil moisture measurement can be based on in situ probes (e.g., capacitance probes, neutron probes) or remote sensing methods. [1] [2]

  5. Field capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_capacity

    Field capacity is the amount of soil moisture or water content held in the soil after excess water has drained away and the rate of downward movement has decreased. This usually occurs two to three days after rain or irrigation in pervious soils of uniform structure and texture.

  6. Runoff curve number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runoff_curve_number

    These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission (final infiltration rate less than 0.05 in (1.3 mm) per hour). Selection of a hydrologic soil group should be done based on measured infiltration rates, soil survey (such as the NRCS Web Soil Survey), or judgement from a qualified soil science or geotechnical professional. The table below ...

  7. Available water capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Available_water_capacity

    It is also known as available water content (AWC), profile available water (PAW) [2] or total available water (TAW). The concept, put forward by Frank Veihmeyer and Arthur Hendrickson, [3] assumed that the water readily available to plants is the difference between the soil water content at field capacity (θ fc) and permanent wilting point (θ ...

  8. Optimum water content for tillage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimum_water_content_for...

    The Optimum Water Content of soil is the water content at which a maximum dry unit weight can be achieved after a given compaction effort. A max dry unit weight would have no voids in the soil. [2] If you were trying to compact a hard dry soil to make it more dense, you might want to get it wet.

  9. Infiltration (hydrology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infiltration_(hydrology)

    A newer method that allows 1-D groundwater and surface water coupling in homogeneous soil layers and that is related to the Richards equation is the Finite water-content vadose zone flow method solution of the Soil Moisture Velocity Equation. In the case of uniform initial soil water content and deep, well-drained soil, some excellent ...
