Abstract:
The Water Budgeting Model is a simulation model used for daily soil water
budgeting. The model simulates daily soil moisture based on the following data
input:
- Weather data -- daily precipitation, solar radiation, temperature;
- Soil properties: -- bulk density, field capacity, wilting point,
permeability, hydrographic area, and,
- Crop information -- crop water requirement factor, rooting depth.
