Total Water Storage Capacity of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Water Storage Capacity of Soil = (The Dry Unit Weight of Soil)*(Root Zone Depth)*(The Field Capacity of Water)/Unit Weight of Water
S = (Γ_d)*(d)*(F)/Γ_w
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Total Water Storage Capacity of Soil - (Measured in Meter) - Total water storage capacity of soil is defined as the amount of water available for plant growth in the soil.
The Dry Unit Weight of Soil - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - The Dry unit weight of soil when the dry weight is reckoned with reference to the total original volume V, it is called the dry unit weight.
Root Zone Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Root zone depth the depth within the soil profile that commodity crop (cc) roots can effectively extract water and nutrients for growth.
The Field Capacity of Water - The field capacity of water remaining in a soil after it has been thoroughly saturated and allowed to drain freely, usually for one to two days.
Unit Weight of Water - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Unit Weight of Water is a volume-specific quantity defined as the weight per unit volume of a material.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

The Dry Unit Weight of Soil: 13.73 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 13.73 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Root Zone Depth: 60 Centimeter --> 0.6 Meter (Check conversion here)
The Field Capacity of Water: 0.3572 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Water: 9.807 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9.807 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = (Γ_d)*(d)*(F)/Γ_w --> (13.73)*(0.6)*(0.3572)/9.807

Evaluating ... ...

S = 0.300052370755583

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.300052370755583 Meter -->30.0052370755583 Centimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

30.0052370755583 ≈ 30.00524 Centimeter <-- Total Water Storage Capacity of Soil

Total Water Storage Capacity of Soil

Go Total Water Storage Capacity of Soil = (The Dry Unit Weight of Soil)*(Root Zone Depth)*(The Field Capacity of Water)/Unit Weight of Water

Depth of Water Stored in Root Zone in Filling Soil up to Field Capacity

Go Depth of Root Zone in Meters = (The Dry Unit Weight of Soil)*(Root Zone Depth)*(The Field Capacity of Water)/Unit Weight of Water

Weight of Water Retained in Unit Area of Soil

Go Unit Weight of Water = (The Dry Unit Weight of Soil)*(Depth of Root Zone in Meters)*(The Field Capacity of Water)

Field Capacity of Water

Go The Field Capacity of Water = (Unit Weight of Water*Depth of Root Zone in Meters)/The Dry Unit Weight of Soil

Total Water Storage Capacity of Soil Formula

Total Water Storage Capacity of Soil = (The Dry Unit Weight of Soil)*(Root Zone Depth)*(The Field Capacity of Water)/Unit Weight of Water
S = (Γ_d)*(d)*(F)/Γ_w

How do you measure the Volume of a Soil Sample?

We do so by dividing the depth in inches by 12. For example, 18″ soil depth = 18/12 = 1.5 ft. Once this is obtained, dividing by 27 (the number of cubic feet in a cubic yard) you will be given the Total Cubic Yards of soil volume in your container.

What is Total Volume of Soil?

The total soil volume is the combined volume of solids and pores which may contain air (Air) or water (Water), or both. The average values of air, water and solids in soil are easily measured and are a useful indication of a soil's physical condition.

How to Calculate Total Water Storage Capacity of Soil?
