Soil Hydrological Data

"Hydrological soil parameters, such as hydraulic conductivity (ability of the soil to conduct water to depth), total pore volume (air space within the soil body) or usable field capacity (water storage capacity of the soil) represent an important database for applications in hydrological practice. Numerous models for the prediction of flood events are based on these parameters. In the first phase of the project HYDROBOD-NÖ such parameters could be compiled for the whole province of Lower Austria. Since completion of the first phase of HYDROBOD (2011), further parts of Lower Austria could be surveyed by agricultural soil mapping. These new bases have now been incorporated into the existing database, resulting in a significant improvement of data quality in the newly mapped areas.
