Citation of the Originator:

Yira, Y. (2016): Saturated water content per Horizon and per Soil Type, Dano Catchment (Burkina Faso). https://wascal-dataportal.org/geonetwork/?uuid=2ce37738-0a21-4cf6-89fc-4945d1f30de1

Parameter:

Saturated water content (Vol.%).

H = horizon1, 2, ..4.

n = sample size;

mean = average of samples;

sd = standard deviation;

min = sample minimum;

max = sample maximum.

Method:

- In situ undisturbed soil sampling;

- 24 hours saturation in laboratory;

- saturated sample weight determination;

- Oven-drying (ISO 17892, 2004).

- dried sample weight determination:

θs= (mw -md ) ρ)/V*100

Where θs (Vol.%) refers to the saturated water content ; mw (g) is the weight of the saturated sample; md (g) is the weight of dried sample; ρ (g/cm3) represents the density of water and V (cm3) the volume of the cylinder
