Conductivity - Soil Survey
Contents
•Use below selected soil survey conductivities:
Check this box to use soil survey conductivities for your project.
•Select Soil Series:
Select the soil series for your location from the drop down box. Values for layer depths and conductivities were developed using values from the NRCS Soil Survey Physical Soil Properties database for each State/County
•Depth from soil surface to bottom of layer:
Depth from the soil surface to the bottom of each soil layer.
NOTE: The depth to the restrictive layer must be equal to the bottom depth of the deepest soil layer listed. Most likely he user will need to modify the bottom depth of the deepest layer when using the Soil Survey values. This is normal given the limitation in soil depths listed in the Soil Surveys.
•Low Hydraulic Conductivity:
The lower limit of hydraulic conductivities based on Soil Survey values.
•High Hydraulic Conductivity:
The upper limit of hydraulic conductivities based on Soil Survey values.
•Average Hydraulic Conductivity:
The average conductivity based on the lower and upper limits.
•Use Low / High / Average:
Select which set of values (low, high, or average) to use for determining the lateral effect.
