When this attribute is set to 1, the vertical hydraulic conductivity is calculated using the Van Genuchten-Mualem formula:
Where:
- = The calculated vertical hydraulic conductivity for the given saturation
- = The saturated vertical hydraulic conductivity from Terrain ground infiltration md.
- = The effective saturation between 0-1 of the Unsaturated Zone. This is a fraction between Sr (assumed close to zero) and the Water storage percentage.
- =
- = Van Genuchten Soil parameter.
