(1815) Moisture-holding capacity, Saturation capacity or Maximum water capacity
The amount of water required to fill all the pore spaces between the soil particles, i.e. the upper limit of the possible moisture content. It is often expressed as the percentage of the dry weight or as equivalent inches of water per foot of soil depth.
