GARANGULA - Paddock 1 - Deep Drainage

[View soil water data]

 

Deep Drainage at 160 cm in Paddock 1 in 2005

Absolute values of drainage cannot be presented because of lack of information about the soil hydraulic conductivity. Instead the graph shows the relative amount of drainage on each day, and how it accumulates through the season. It is not possible to be certain about the total amount of drainage but it is likely to be of the order of 20 to 50 mm for the season.

 

Hydraulic gradient at 160 cm in Paddock 1

A positive value of hydraulic gradient indicates deep drainage is occurring. The larger the value of the gradient, the larger the amount of deep drainage.

Soil water potential at 160 cm in Paddock 1

A positive value indicates that the soil is saturated. A value less than -100 indicates that very little drainage is likely to be occurring.
