In this article we will discuss about the saturated versus unsaturated flow of water into the soil. Flow of soil water is due to driving force resulting from potential gradient. Darcy law is valid both for saturated and unsaturated flow in that the flow is proportional to potential gradient. When the soil is saturated, all […]

In this article we will discuss about the soil moisture characteristic curves. Soil moisture tension does indicate neither the moisture content of soil nor the amount of moisture that can be withdrawn for plant use at any particular tension. Knowledge of the amount of moisture a given soil holds at various tensions is necessary to […]

Flow of water in the soil is complex because of various states and direction in which water flows and because of the forces that cause it to flow. Water flows downwards due to gravity. It moves in small pores due to capillarity because of adhesive and cohesive forces. Because of heat, it vapourises and diffuses […]
