Soil and Landscape Grid National Soil Attribute Maps - Available Volumetric Water Capacity (Percent) (3 arc second resolution) Version 2

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

This is Version 2 of the Australian Available Volumetric Water Capacity (AWC) product of the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia. The map gives a modelled estimate of the spatial distribution of AWC soil hydraulic property in soils across Australia. The Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia has produced a range of digital soil attribute products. Each product contains six digital soil attribute maps, and their upper and lower confidence limits, representing the soil attribute at six depths: 0-5 cm, 5-15 cm, 15-30 cm, 30-60 cm, 60-100 cm and 100-200 cm. These depths are consistent with the specifications of the GlobalSoilMap.net project - GlobalSoilMaps. The digital soil attribute maps are in raster format at a resolution of 3 arc sec (~90 x 90 m pixels). Detailed information about the Soil and Landscape Grid of Australia can be found at - SLGA Attribute Definition: Available Volumetric Water Capacity (Units: percent); Period (temporal coverage; approximately): 1950-2021; Spatial resolution: 3 arc seconds (approx. 90 m); Total number of gridded maps for this attribute: 18; Number of pixels with coverage per layer: 2007M (49200 * 40800); Target data standard: GlobalSoilMap specifications; Format: Cloud Optimised GeoTIFF
