Problem
In a suction test, a soil sample is mixed with 500% water content. After a week, the measured electrical conductivity (EC1:5) of the soil solution is 2.0 milli-siemens/cm. What is the solute suction at the actual field condition, if knowing the field moisture content of this soil is 24%? Note that solute suction unadjusted for moisture content is given by 36×EC1:5.
