Excerpt from Flow and Retention of Water in Layered Soils
Knowledge about the water-retention proper ties of the soil enables one to estimate the need for and the frequency of irrigation. Satisfactory methods are available or being developed (5) that can be used to predict the extraction rate of water from'the soil by growing plants. If one knows how much water is retained for plant use in the soil after irrigation and how fast it is ex tracted, the scheduling of irrigations with reason able accuracy is simple. Such factors as continued deep drainage after irrigation and level of with drawal before irrigation have to be considered.
