Van Genuchten model of soil water retention ( $\theta$ – relative soil water content, $\Psi _{\mathrm {m} }$ – soil matric potential):

\theta =\theta _{r}+{\frac {\theta _{s}-\theta _{r}}{\left(1+\left(\alpha \,{\frac {\left|\Psi _{\mathrm {m} }\right|}{\mathrm {hPa} }}\right)^{n}\right)^{m}}}

with

m=1-{\frac {1}{n}}\;.
