Method to estimate water storage capacity of capillary barriers
Article Abstract:
Wilting point, field capacity and water retention characteristics are assessed for capillary barrier water storage capacity. The influences of spatial variability of soil hydraulic attributes and the hysteretic nature of soil-water interaction are also discussed.
