Scholarcy highlights
- Most of the data pertaining to Indian soils are limited to the major soil separates, sand, silt, and clay
- We examined the possibilities of using these parameters to describe the hydraulic characteristics of the soils of India
- The soil water content at a given suction could be satisfactorily predicted using the percentage of major soil separates, sand, silt, and clay
- Non-linear regression equations were developed to predict these coefficients using the percentages of sand and clay in soils
- The equations proved to be quite satisfactory for a wide range of textures and provided reasonably accurate estimates of the soil water characteristic curve from a minimum of readily available data
- We acknowledge their continuing connection to their culture, their contribution to our shared knowledge, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present
