Problem 3 (15) Soil water contents were determined in a wheat field during early spring and again at harvest. The volumetric water content distributions within the profile are given in the table below. Plot the soil water storage distributions by depth. Determine the equivalent depth of water stored in the profile at both dates. Also, determine the net change in depth of water in the profile. What can you conclude from your results?
