SoilSoil depthKinematic porosity rangeSoil storage description, assumed stratigraphy examples
Clay >1 0.0005–0.002 1 m till, remaining soil column clay
Clay <=1 0.0005–0.002 Entire soil column assumed as clay
Peat All 0.2 Entire soil column assumed as peat
Till All 0.025–0.1 Entire soil column assumed as till
Glacial Sand All 0.1–0.3 Entire soil column assumed as sand
Glacial Gravel All 0.15–0.45 Entire soil column assumed as xgravel
Post-glacial sediments >5 0.1–0.45 1 m till, 1–2 m clay, remaining soil column according to surficial soil
Post-glacial Sediments <=5 0.1–0.45 Soil column according to type of soil
Outcrop 0.0001–0.0005 Only storage in bedrock
