Document Summary

In a saturated soil all voids are lled with water. Saturate a soil will then allow it to drain feely what happens: in ltration. Penetration of water through soil at a rate of in ltration. Corse textured soils have a high rate. Ne textured soils have a low rate. Some moisture retained: in the textbook, capillary water, held by tension, moves in response to moisture gradients mostly available water. Water balance budgets of inputs and outputs of water in system: basin scale (watershed, q=p - e +/_ delta s. P is precipitation: precipitation cage, measures the amount of precipitation that falls, annual averages. E is evapotranspiration (actual ae: lysimeter. Delta s means change is storage: dams and reservoirs. Tuesday, march 8, 2016 what would happen is the moisture in the soil was still existent ? the sun. Insolation, makes the evapotranspiration much more intense.
