Soil water retention curve (Water Overlay)

Icon	Attribute	Unit	Range	Description	Default value
	SOIL_WATER_RETENTION_CURVE	m		Setting a Soil Water Retention Curve retains a fraction of the water in the Unsaturated Zone.	0

This can be done via the Van Genuchten-Mualem formula:

$K(t)=Kssqrt(Se)(1-{1-S{e}^{(}1/m)}^m{)}^2$

Notes

• This is still BETA functionality, disabled by default (value=0).
• For Van Genuchten-Mualem select 1.
