HYDROBOD2 — Hydrological soil characteristics — Final report and grid data Lower Austria

Hydrological soil characteristics, such as the hydraulic conductivity (the ability of the soil to conduct water to the depth), the total pore volume (air space within the soil body) or the usable field capacity (water storage capacity of the soil) are an important data base for applications in hydrological practice. Numerous models for predicting flood events are based on these parameters. In the first phase of the HYDROBOD-NÖ project, such characteristics could be compiled nationwide for the entire province of Lower Austria. Since the completion of the first phase of HYDROBOD (2011), further parts of Lower Austria have been surveyed by agricultural soil mapping. These new foundations have now been incorporated into the existing database, resulting in a significant improvement in data quality in the newly mapped areas.
