The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is described as the amount of water retained in a soil under equilibrium at a given matric potential. Using a Tempe cell and a flexible wall apparatus, characteristic curves for drying and wetting of soils (SWCC) were obtained for four sandy soils with diff...
