Weight of moisture soil > weight oven drying soil,
So, water content = weight of moisture soil- weight oven drying soil.
So, water content = weight of moisture soil- weight oven drying soil.

Weight of Water = Weight of moisture soil - Weight oven drying soil.
Whereas, Water Content = Weight of Water / Weight of Solids.
Whereas, Water Content = Weight of Water / Weight of Solids.
