abstarct precise knowledge of all components of water balance is essential to optimize water use in irrigated agriculture. however, water balance components are difficult to measure in required time intervals because their measuring is time consuming and costly. unsaturated zone simulator models are useful tools for predicting the effects of agricultural management on crop water use and can be ...

the relationship between topography, land use, and topsoil moisture storage is investigated for a small catchment with undulating deep loess hilslopes in the south of the netherlands. for a period of 10 months, soil moisture profiles have been measured weekly at 15 locations throughout the catchment. a generalized additive model was employed to find relationships between the various factors inf...

water changes information in the hydrological system, in time and space, as an environmental issue takes heed of managers and decision makers in watershed management and river engineering, which can be addressed by using spatially distributed modeling. in this study simulation of water balance components in taleghan mountainous watershed is performed using the spatially distributed hydrological...

water balance components are difficult to measure in short intervals because their measurement is time consuming and costly. therefore, soil-water--plant models can be used for prediction of these components. in this study, to predict grain yield and evaluate water use efficiency, an agro-hydrological model, namely, swap was used. this study covered a 10-years period from 2000-2010. based on th...

We assess the water balance of the Brazilian Cerrado based on remotely sensed estimates of precipitation (TRMM), evapotranspiration (MOD16), and terrestrial water storage (GRACE) for the period from 2003 to 2010. Uncertainties for each remotely sensed data set were computed, the budget closure was evaluated using measured discharge data for the three largest river basins in the Cerrado, and the...

in order to investigation of irrigation management and plant density effects on water productivity of rice, a field experiment was conducted in the rice research institute of iran (rasht) during 2001 and 2002. the study was carried out in a split plot design with four different irrigation regimes as main plots and three plant densities as subplots. in this experiment, oryza2000 model was used t...
