How It Works

Calculate total available water capacity (AWC) from soil texture, bulk density, and organic matter content for irrigation planning and drought risk assessment

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Soil texture — The soil texture recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Bulk density — The bulk density recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Organic matter content — The organic matter content recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the soil water holding result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the soil texture, bulk density, organic matter content for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate total available water capacity (AWC) from soil texture, bulk density, and organic matter content for irrigation planning and drought risk assessment. Use the soil water holding result to inform your clinical assessment.
