We currently have a standard name of volume_fraction_of_water_in_soil. I
suppose the water must be "in" the pores, so I wonder whether we could have
volume_fraction_of_condensed_water_in_soil for your purpose? But is this
really different from volume_fraction_of_water_in_soil? The difference
between condensed_water and water is water vapour. Do you specifically mean
to exclude water vapour in the soil?

Best wishes

Jonathan
