Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ...more water at the commencement than near the end of the experiment. It shows, also, a more uniform use by the heavier soils. It shows, for instance, that the soil in flume 54 had used relatively more than twice as much water as any other flume at the end of the first day, while on the fifteenth day it had used relatively only about one-fiftli more than the others. Table 20 showrs the amount of water required at different periods of time to advance the moisture in the flumes an average distance of 1 inch. For instance, on the third day, flume 24 had used 18 liters of water and the moisture had advanced 44.15 inches, or an average of 479 cubic centimeters of water was required per inch. A comparison of the figures in Table 20 with the moisture equivalents of the soils appears to show no close relation. However, in a general way the greater the moisture equivalent the greater the quantity of water required to advance the moisture 1 inch. It is ob147697--20--Bull. 835 3 Table 19.--Water used, by days, in percentages of total use in 30 days. served in nearly all of the flumes that less water is required per inch about the third day than at any other time. In all cases, however, more water was required per inch at the end than was required at the beginning of the experiment. It is observed that for soils of the heavier type represented in flume 54, for some time after the commencement of the experiment less water is required per inch than for the following day, but after about the thirtieth day there is a very rapid increase of the water requirements. It is probable that there is some concentration of moisture at the top of the vertical lift before the moisture changes direction to the inclined part of the flume and that this moisture is...

Poor soil and water management are often related to insufficient or poor rainfall distribution around the world. In modern agriculture, over-cultivation, deforestation, overgrazing, and high dependence on an irrigated cropping system with water-intensive crops increase soil and water erosion. This book examines ways of improving soil moisture management to support environmental, food, social, and economic security under a sustainable ecosystem.
