Low-flow domain hydraulic impedance function

The value of this parameter will be above zero in case of developing ice lenses or other actions which disturb possible flow path for liquid water. A reasonable range is from 0 to 10. The lower values can preferably be used when the switch k-estimate is set to “minimum values”. Chosing k-estimate to “minium value”, or putting LowFlowCondImped to a high value as 8 can result in similar outputs.
