Water Gravity: Understanding the Movement of Water in Soil

Water gravity, also known as free water, is an important concept to understand when it comes to irrigation and soil moisture. This type of water fills the pores or voids of soil temporarily and then seeps into deeper layers of the soil due to the influence of gravity. This water is not held in place by soil particles and can easily move through the soil profile.

 

While water gravity may seem like a positive thing, it can actually cause problems such as waterlogging and poor drainage if it accumulates in the soil. This is because the water is not available for plants to use, and it can also lead to erosion and nutrient loss.

To manage water gravity effectively, it is important to have an irrigation system that can control the amount and movement of water in the soil. Ardefsis is an innovative irrigation system that is designed to constantly monitor and analyze soil moisture, ensuring that each zone is getting the right amount of water without wasting any. This allows for optimal water usage and helps to prevent waterlogging and poor drainage.

By understanding water gravity and how it impacts soil moisture, we can better manage irrigation and improve plant health. With Ardefsis, you can rest assured that your plants are getting the right amount of water, in the right place

Information

It differs from other automatic irrigation systems as it does not program the watering time but analyzes the needs of the soil according to the plants and the quality of the soil.

It thus provides optimal soil moisture when required by constantly controlling soil moisture.
