SoilLibrary

Syntax

SoilLibrary(Texture Class)

Description

This function is used in conjunction with the MABIA Method for catchment hydrology and crop water requirements.  

The SoilLibrary function is used to choose a texture class (from the Soil Library), in order to determine the Soil Water Capacity for catchment branches in the Data View, under Land Use.   Use the "Select from Soil Library" option in the drop-down menu in the data grid.  (As an alternative to choosing from the Soil Library, you can enter soil properties directly, or use the Soil Profiles Wizard.  These two options are also available on the drop-down menu in the data grid.)

Example

SoilLibrary(Clay loam)

Use the texture class named "Clay loam" from the Soil Library.
