- Understanding soil-water relationships is critical for best irrigation practice. The main factors controlling soil-water relate to soil texture and structure. - Two important soil water properties to understand are water storage and water movement. The balance of micro-pores and macro-pores in soils determine their water holding capacity. - Increasing organic matter content can increase the soils’ ability to store water. The readily available water (RAW) for crops can be calculated from soil type, crop
