Ideas in this flowchart

  • Soil water
  • Water held in the unsaturated zone above the groundwater table
  • Hydrogen bonding governs interactions within soil water
  • Adhesion forms between water and soil particles
  • Cohesion forms among water molecules
  • Adhesion and cohesion produce capillary suction
  • Capillary suction can move water through pores against gravity
  • The amount and movement of water depend strongly on soil properties
  • Soil texture affects water amount and movement
  • Soil structure affects water amount and movement
  • Pore-size distribution affects water amount and movement

"Soil water is water held in the unsaturated zone above the groundwater table. Hydrogen bonding creates adhesion between water and soil particles and cohesion among water molecules, producing capillary suction that can move water through pores against gravity. The amount and movement of water depend strongly on soil texture, structure, and pore-size distribution."
