A farmer is using a soil moisture sensor to guide his irrigation decisions. The sensor measures an average volumetric water content of in the inch deep rootzone of the crop. How many inches of irrigation water should the farmer apply to increase the water content to in each of the following scenarios?
See the video that demonstrates how to apply the soil water balance equation to solve problems like this linked on p
a Using a furrow irrigation system in which of the applied water is lost to runoff and is lost to evaporation.
b Using a center pivot irrigation system in which of the applied water is lost to runoff and is lost to evaporation.
c Using a drip irrigation system where none of the water is lost to runoff and is lost to evaporation.
