Abstract

Watertable levels of six padi soil scries at 18 locations in the Kelantan plain were continuously monitored at monthly intervals for more than 2 years. The results indicate that there are different ground water regimes in the various soil series. and that they can be related to the existing soil drainage classes. In view of the fact that the ground water position influences the soil mobility by
machines, it is concluded that soil drainage class and therefore soil series can be used to predict machine mobility in the padi areas of the Kelantan plain.
