Soil Hydraulic Properties (Canadian Texture Triangle)

Use this worktable to see the impact of soil texture on hydraulic properties.

Enter values for percent sand and percent clay and click on [Calculate] to obtain the soil hydraulic properties. Hydraulic properties values are only available for the shaded area as shown in the Canadian texture triangle. Therefore, hydraulic properties may not be available for all your input values.
