Across
  1. 2. measure of soil’s ability to transmit water
  2. 6. ability of soil to store and release water
  3. 7. the portion of applied water that leaves the surface site as runoff
  4. 8. the zone where the water content sharply decreases with depth from the water content of the transmission zone to near the initial water content of the soil.
  5. 12. this supplies the energy necessary for the liquid water molecules to evaporate
  6. 17. Materials that protect soil surface
  7. 18. characterized by a rapid decrease in water content with depth and will extend approximately a few meters
  8. 19. a tool to measure the change in level of free water surface to determine the rate of evaporation
  9. 20. a device to measure the rate of water infiltration
  10. 21. net rate of vapor transfer
  11. 22. encompasses both soil physical properties and soil water properties
  12. 23. caused by vegetation or other types of surface cover
  13. 24. this method consists of drawing up a balance sheet of all the water entering and leaving a particular catchment
  14. 25. a tool to measure the water loss from a standard saturated surface
Down
  1. 1. factors the affect the movement of water through the air-soil interface
  2. 3. the saltiness or amount of salt dissolved in a body of water
  3. 4. an instrument that measures the loss of water from a wetted, porous surface.
  4. 5. characterized by a small change in water content with depth
  5. 9. sum of evaporation and plant transpiration from the Earth’s land and ocean surface to the atmosphere.
  6. 10. This has no disturbance to soil, close to true rainfall impact and mush costly than infiltrometer
  7. 11. the pore space in this zone is filled with water or saturated
  8. 13. characterized by a steep hydraulic gradient and forms a sharp boundary between the wet and dry soil.
  9. 14. process of water flow from one point to another within the soil
  10. 15. process of water entry into the soil from rainfall, snowmelt, or irrigation.
  11. 16. the process of water loss from plants through stomata
