ROSETTA3 Tool
Use this tool to estimate the soil saturated hydraulic conductivity (ROSETTA3 code is from
Zhang and Schaap, 2017
).
Enter the following soil inputs. Providing the optional inputs, improves the tool’s estimate.
Percent sand, S (%)
Percent silt, Si (%)
Percent clay, C (%)
Bulk density, BD (g/cm
