New soil study predicts water flow, revolutionizing agriculture in Coimbatore.
The researchers predicted how easily water flows through soil in Coimbatore district by looking at soil properties like sand content and particle density. They collected soil samples from different depths and analyzed them. The sand and particle density had the strongest connection to how fast water moves through the soil. The model they used to predict water flow had an accuracy of 51%, showing it can be used to estimate soil water movement in the area.
