1. A soil has a saturation of 0.6 m3/m3, if it has a field capacity (FC) of 0.15 m/m3 and a hygroscopic coefficient of 0.05 m3/m3, what is the gravitational water (as m3/m3)? 2. Calculate the available water depleted if given the following information: present wetness (PW) is 0.25 m3/m3, the field capacity (FC) is 0.3 m3/m3, and the wilting point (WP) is 0.1 m3/m3. Remember, the available water depleted is the percent of plant available water that has already be removed.
