Transcribed Image Text:4. The bulk density of the soil in one-meter (100 cm) deep root zone of a
hectare field is 1.5 g/cm3. Its moisture equivalent at field capacity and
permanent wilting point are 34% and 18% by mass, respectively.
Calculate the following:
a. available moisture in centimeters of water
b. volume of water in m3 at field capacity
C. if moisture is'decreased to 24% Om; calculate volume of irrigation water
needed to regain the field capacity condition.
d. if moisture content by volume (%0v) reached 60%, calculate the volume
of water to be drained from the hectare field.
