Water retention efficiency (WRE) is a measure of the ability of a growing media to hold water applied from irrigation and this influences how long the irrigation must be run to wet up the media. An Australia wide survey has shown that the WRE of commercially available growing media varies considerably, and suggests that the choice of growing media can influence water consumption and the quantity of nutrient runoff produced from a sprinkler or drip irrigation system.
