• Describes how the state of water in soil is defined
• Includes abundant illustrations and artwork of water flow in soils
• Provides a phenomenological approach with simple and logical explanations on water movement in soils
• Bridges the fields of soil physics and hydrology

The new edition of a bestseller, this book bridges the fields of soil physics and hydrology. Unlike other physics laden texts, this work conveys fundamental concepts of water flow in soils through clear and essentially nonmathematical explanations. It provides descriptions of phenomena with abundant illustrations of water flow in soils. It introduces substantial topics on soil water flow, providing both phenomenological and analytical interpretations. Covering basic to advanced principles, this edition is ideal for graduate students of agriculture and engineering, and researchers in soil physics. Water flow applications in hydrology, geology, civil engineering, and related environmental sciences are spreading rapidly, and thus these researchers may also benefit.
