Water Scheduling:
Soil Type – Clay
Terms:
RAW – Readily Available Water
TAW – Total Available Water
FC – Field Capacity
WP – Wilting Point

WETTER AREA CALCULATION

100 % of the field
x width x depth
dripline distance
Where:
Distance of driplines = 1 meter
Depth = 0.90 meters
Width = 0.3 meters (constant number)
100 %
x 0.30 x 0.90

Wetted area=27 %

TO QUANTIFY THE VOLUME OF TAW IN THE WETTED AREA,

TAW x Wetted area
150 mm x 27 %=40.5 mm(TAW )

DEPLETION THRESHOLD:
- within TAW, indicates the lowest content of available water in the soil.
- The depletion threshold of heavy soil (clay) is 50%.
Then,
RAW =TAW x Depletionthreshold
RAW =40.5 x 50 %
