  • determined by its properties and characteristics.<\/li><\/ul>
    1. As with each component of the system, we will seek, for each water resource, to make it perform several functions, and each of these functions must be fulfilled by several components: this is the guarantee of sustainability.<\/li>

            It is essential to distinguish between the quantity in a soil and its availability in it.<\/p>

            There are 3 different types of water in the soil:<\/p>

            • to begin :gravitational water<\/strong> : available, it flows through the ground by gravity.\u00a0<\/li>
            • then,capillary water <\/strong>: it is an available water on which capillary forces are exerted.<\/li>
            • Finallyhygroscopic water<\/strong> which is unavailable water, since it enters into the very constitution of the soil.<\/li><\/ul>

              Soil water fulfills 6 functions:<\/p>

              • support,<\/li>
              • vector (by its flow) of transport (of matter, energy),<\/li>
              • engine,<\/li>
              • energy conservator and transformer,<\/li>
