1 A natural or constructed waterway, typically broad and shallow, seeded to grass as protection against erosion. Conducts surface water away from cropland.
2 Soil erodibility factor (K) reflects the susceptibility of a soil to erode under the action of raindrop impact and water flowing over the surface (sheet and rill erosion). (T) is rating from 1 (most erodible) -10 (least erodible) on erodibililty.
3 Refers to the soil behavior according to water infiltration, transmission, and runoff producing characteristics. The slope and the plant cover are not considered but are separate factors in predicting runoff. Group "A" has a high infiltration rate and low runoff potential. The other extreme is group "D" which has a low infiltration rate and a high runoff potential.
4 Presented is a range in inches from surface to bottom soil layer. The amount of water that would be maintained in soil after natural drainage in response to gravity alone. Varies with soil texture, structure, rock fragment content and other soil properties. The available water capacity in a 60-inch profile or to a limiting layer is: 0-6 inches: Very low, 3-6 inches: Low, 6-9 inches: Moderate , 9-12 inches: High
