DBS&A conducts tests that provide information such as:
- Soil water characteristic curves (SWCC)
- Soil modeling parameters
- Van Genuchten parameters (alpha and N)
- Soil moisture retention parameters
- Soil physical properties

- Hysteresis
- Saturated and unsaturated hydraulic conductivity
- Soil cover material testing
- Soil borrow material testing
- Soil moisture content vs. conductivity
- Soil moisture content vs. tension
- Theta vs. K testing
- Hydraulic parameters
- Soil water movement
- Vadose zone
