The soil water retention curve, the saturated hydraulic
conductivity and the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity function
are basic soil hydraulic functions and parameters. Ample
apprehension of the soil hydraulic functions and parameters is
required for a successful formulation of the principles leading to
sustainable soil management, agricultural production and
environmental protection. From these, all the other parameters,
required in the solution of the practical tasks, are derived. The
basic soil hydraulic functions are strongly dependent upon the soil
porous system. The development of models is characteristic by the
gradual transition from the simplest concepts up to the
sophisticated approaches, which should correspond to the visual
reality studied by soil micromorphology. 2 Soil Porous System and
Soil Micromorphometry 2.1 An Overview on the Quantification of the
Soil Porous System Quanti? cation of the soil porous system
consists of classi? cation of soil pores, ch- acterization of the
soil pores shapes and the estimation of the pore size distribution
function. When the hydraulic functions of the soil pores are
considered, the following laws of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics
are applied as best ? tting to the classi? cation criteria of the
size of the pores (Kutilek and Nielsen 1994, p. 20, Kutilek 2004):
A. Submicroscopic pores that are so small that they preclude
clusters of water molecules from forming ? uid particles or
continuous water ? ow paths.
