How to Evaluate Degree of Saturation?

Degree of Saturation evaluator uses Degree of Saturation = Volume of Water/Volume of Voids to evaluate the Degree of Saturation, Degree of Saturation formula is defined as the ratio of the volume of water present in a soil void to the total volume of voids. It indicates the moisture content and helps assess the soil's ability to retain water. Degree of Saturation is denoted by S symbol.

How to evaluate Degree of Saturation using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Degree of Saturation, enter Volume of Water (Vw) & Volume of Voids (Vv) and hit the calculate button.
