PPT-Soil water retention curve

Soil water retention curve The relationship between soil matric potential and soil water content matric suction soil matric potential Usually soil volumetric water content is used Usually determined based on empirical data. Ln s r(res) Water retention curve FunicularPendular:Residual The water retention curveplots the evolution of the degree of saturation, Sr, as a function of the matric suction. lyesse.laloui@epfl.chVo Compaction.
