Deep Percolation Estimate Calculator

Estimate deep percolation losses below the root zone from irrigation over-application, rainfall, and groundwater recharge contributions.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How It Works

Estimate deep percolation losses below the root zone from irrigation over-application, rainfall, and groundwater recharge contributions

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Irrigation over-application — The irrigation over-application recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Rainfall — The rainfall recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Groundwater recharge contributions — The groundwater recharge contributions recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the deep percolation result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the irrigation over-application, rainfall, groundwater recharge contributions for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Estimate deep percolation losses below the root zone from irrigation over-application, rainfall, and groundwater recharge contributions. Use the deep percolation result to inform your clinical assessment.
