ind_gw_rechargeR Documentation

Calculate groundwater recharge of a soil

Description

This function calculates an index score for groundwater storage based on WHC, sealing risk, drainage and subsoil compaction

Usage

ind_gw_recharge(D_WRI_WHC, D_PSP, I_P_SE, I_P_CO, B_DRAIN = FALSE)

Arguments

D_WRI_WHC

(numeric) The value for Water Retention index (WRI) for WHC as calculated by calc_waterretention

D_PSP

(numeric) The precipitation surplus per crop calculated by calc_psp

I_P_SE

(numeric) The indicator value for soil sealing

I_P_CO

(numeric) The indicator value for occurrence of subsoil compaction

B_DRAIN

(boolean) Are drains installed to drain the field (options: yes or no)

Value

The evaluated score for the soil function to improve groundwater recharge. A numeric value between 0 and 1.

Examples

ind_gw_recharge(D_WRI_WHC = 0.6, D_PSP = 200, I_P_SE = 0.6, I_P_CO = 0.9)
ind_gw_recharge(D_WRI_WHC = 0.8, D_PSP = 400, I_P_SE = 0.4, I_P_CO = 0.2)
