RETC - analyzes soil water retention and hydraulic conductivity functions of unsaturated soils
RETC Category: hydraulic properties
RETC Overview
RETC, Retention Curve Program for Unsaturated Soils, is a computer program for describing the hydraulic properties of unsaturated soils. RETC
may be used to fit several analytical models to observed water retention and/or unsaturated hydraulic conductivity data. RETC incorporates menu-driven data entry. Features in RETC include: a direct evaluation of the
hydraulic functions when the model parameters are known; a more flexible choice of hydraulic parameters to be included in the parameter optimization process; and the possibility of evaluating the model parameters
from observed conductivity data rather than only from retention data or simultaneously from measured retention and hydraulic conductivity data.
