Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
In a soil, negative pressure or suction of the water, equal to the equivalent pressure necessary to bring the soil water to hydraulic equilibrium through a porous wall, with a pool of water of equivalent composition. 1, record 1, English, - moisture%20tension
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
In soils partially saturated with water there is moisture tension, which is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to the soil water pressure. Moisture tension is equal to the pressure that must be applied to the soil water to bring it to a hydraulic equilibrium, through a porous permeable wall or membrane, with a pool of water of the same composition. 2, record 1, English, - moisture%20tension

Dans les sols partiellement saturés en eau, il existe une tension de l'eau égale mais de signe contraire à la pression de l'eau du sol. La tension de l'eau du sol est égale à la pression qu'il faut exercer sur l'eau du sol pour l'amener en équilibre hydraulique, à travers une paroi ou une membrane perméable et poreuse, avec un réservoir d'eau de même composition. 3, record 1, French, - tension%20de%20l%27eau%20du%20sol
