text: Runoff is common when soil is saturated.
text: If the soil is saturated, or if the rainfall rate is greater than the rate at which water can infiltrate into the soil, surface runoff occurs.
text: So, available water-holding capacity is the amount of water a soil can hold between the time it is fully saturated but drained and when it is so dry that plants die.
text: Runoff from agricultural land is greatest during spring months when the soils are typically saturated, snow is melting and vegetative cover is minimal.
text: Soil is either saturated or unsaturated, thus soil hydraulic conductivity is either designated saturated hydraulic conductivity (K s /K fs ) or unsaturated hydraulic conductivity (K(Ψ)).
text: So, the unsaturated conductivity is always less, and in most cases, orders of magnitude less than it is when the soil is saturated.
text: A soil that is saturated has a soil moisture tension of about 0.001 bars, or less, which requires little energy for a plant to pull water away from the soil.
