In this paper we evaluate a number of model equations for the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC), provided a relationship exists for each relevant soil. The models are with two parameters and relate suction to volumetric water content for values of suction higher then air entry value. Logarithmic tranformations are applied to the variables in order to find linear patern. Most of generally used models are also discussed and compared to the proposed. An example is given how to assess the experimental data to define the variable transformation and how to choose the most proper model. The procedure for estimating the air entry value is also presented.
