How many millimetres (equivalent depth) of water are contained in a soil profile 1 metre deep if the mass water content of the upper 400 mm depth is 15% and that of the lower 600 mm is 20%. The bulk density in the upper layer is 1300 kg m-3 and in the lower layer is 1500 kg m-3. Assume ρw = 1000 kg m-3.How much water does the soil contain (in cubic metres) per 1.5 hectares of land?

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

The equivalent depth of water in the soil is 270 mm and the volumetric water content of soil is 5625 ... View the full answer
