Abstract

A method is presented for determining the drainage term in the water balance equation, which may then be used to solve for evaporation from field crops. Questions concerning accuracy in determination of the drainage term are considered. Two special problems that arise in this context with swelling clay soils are discussed, namely, the variation of bulk density with water content, and the inference of in situ soil water suction from volumetric water content measurement.
