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
