Abstract
The present study has been undertaken (a) to test out the validity of the concept that the soil profile has a definite measurable storage capacity for water and a definite regulating effect on ground-water discharge, and (b) to demonstrate that these functions of the soil profile are analogous to those of detention-type storage basin structures used in flood control and to retention and equalizing reservoir structures employed for water resources conservation
