A low value (<0.001) will result in a poor capacity of the aggregate to adsorb water during infiltration and a high degree will be bypassed in the macropores. High values give the opposite effect. Appropriate values can be found in a wide range depending on the corresponding values assigned to the saturated conductivity for the matric pore domain.
