Weight of Water Retained in Unit Area of Soil Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Unit Weight of Water = (The Dry Unit Weight of Soil)*(Depth of Root Zone in Meters)*(The Field Capacity of Water)
Γ_w = (Γ_d)*(d_w)*(F)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

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.
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.
Depth of Root Zone in Meters - (Measured in Meter) - Depth of root zone in meters is 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.

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
Depth of Root Zone in Meters: 0.3 Meter --> 0.3 Meter No Conversion Required
The Field Capacity of Water: 0.3572 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Γ_w = (Γ_d)*(d_w)*(F) --> (13.73)*(0.3)*(0.3572)

Evaluating ... ...

Γ_w = 1.4713068

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1471.3068 Newton per Cubic Meter -->1.4713068 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.4713068 ≈ 1.471307 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter <-- Unit Weight of Water

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

Weight of Water Retained in Unit Area of Soil Formula

Unit Weight of Water = (The Dry Unit Weight of Soil)*(Depth of Root Zone in Meters)*(The Field Capacity of Water)
Γ_w = (Γ_d)*(d_w)*(F)

How do you calculate Water Retained by Soil?

The water holding capacity of a soil is calculated by summing the capacity of each layer in the root zone.

What is the Unit Weight of Soil?

The unit weight, also known as the 'weight density', of a soil refers to its weight per cubic meter and is typically expressed as kilonewtons per cubic meter (KN/m3), or tons per cubic meter (t/m3)1.
