Water and mass balance analysis using the lysimeter

Abstract

water and mass balance analysis using the lysimeter, to quantify the difference between actual evaporation and potential evapotranspiration taking particular reference to water balance and soil moisture contents of different lysimeter models of untreated bare soil, grass covered lysimeter and treated bare soil.Results showed that the lysimeter is a viable tool for soil moisture content measurement and that treated bare soil has no positive effect on the soil.
