TUFLOW Message
WARNING 2508 - Soil initial moisture is greater than porosity, soil capacity is zero. No infiltration will occur for this soil type.

Alternate Message
NA

Message Type
WARNING

Description
The soil capacity is calculated as porosity minus the soil initial moisture. For example a "Sandy Loam" soil has a default porosity of 0.412 and therefore, a maximum soil moisture of 0.412. If a value of 0.412 or higher is set the soil capacity is set to zero and no infiltration will occur for the soil type.

Suggestions
Check that the soil initial moisture is being specified correctly and that no infiltration is desired.
