ABSTRACT Accurate modelling of peat water contents (θ) is critical for wetland studies. We modified the Campbell and Van Genuchten soil water retention curves (SWRCs) by replacing their empirical parameters with measurable properties. Combining the water table depth (d WT) into SWRCs, we derived formulae for calculating volumetric θ from d WT, coded in a simple model to test our hypotheses that d WT is a reliable predictor of θ for peat of low and high water holding capacity at near-saturation. We compared our simulations with time-domain reflectometry θ measurements at Mer Bleue bog (Ontario, Canada) and the Western Peatland fen (Alberta, Canada). Constraining Campbell SWRC at extreme drying and waterlogging rather than wilting point and field capacity produced superior results. The Van Genuchten SWRC was approximated by hyperbolic and inverse hyperbolic segments. When simplified, its performance reconciles with that of the modified Campbell SWRC. Overall, our formulae performed well with generalized peat parameters.
