Available Water Capacity at Various Depths
This script retrieves the available water capacity values stored in the map unit aggregate table for various depths. The restrictive layers are not considered in this query.
Text highlighted in yellow in the example script can be changed for a particular area; e.g., 'NE109' can be substituted for 'KS169'. Also, you can use wildcards to get the entire State; e.g., 'MO%' will extract the State of Missouri. More examples can be found on the Tips page.
