Water percentage present in material.

Water content within the soil.

a form of abiotic stress that occurs when the moisture of plant tissues is reduced to suboptimal levels.

Prevents water penetration in materials.

Moisture meters are measuring instruments used to measure the percentage of water in a given substance, as physical properties are strongly affected by moisture content and high moisture content for a period of time may progressively degrade a material.

Water retention capacity of soil.

Withstands water without damage occurring.
