A- The field capacity and permanent wilting point for a given 0.66m root-zone soil are 45 and 8 percent, respectively. At a given time, the soil moisture in the given soil is 25 percent when a farmer irrigates the soil with 200mm depth of water. Assuming bulk specific gravity of the soil as 1.6, determine the amount of water wasted from the consideration of irrigation.
