Percolation Loss Calculator
Definition:
Percolation loss is the downward movement of water below the root zone after infiltration, making it unavailable for plant uptake. It is a major component of water loss in light-textured and flooded soils.

Formula:
Percolation Loss (mm/hr) =
Infiltration Rate − Root Zone Holding Capacity
Percolation Loss (mm/hr) =
Infiltration Rate − Root Zone Holding Capacity
