Soil Water Retention and Relative Permeability for Conditions from Oven‐Dry to Full Saturation

Common conceptual models for unsaturated flow assume that the matric potential is attributed to the capillary force only. These models are successful at high and medium water contents but often give poor results at low water contents. The lower bound of existing water retention functions and conduct...
