water content
How wet something
Water content is the amount of water present in a substance, material, or environment, typically expressed as a percentage of total weight or volume.
It's a key measurement in fields ranging from food science to construction, where the water content of concrete affects curing time and soil water content determines irrigation needs.
Materials with high water content behave differently than dry ones—fruits spoil faster, wood warps more readily.
