The image shows a one dimensional problem where water is entering and leaving a soil column that is Z m deep, has a volumetric water content of 0 and porosity o. Water enters as precipitation P [m/day], and leaves as evaporation E [m/day] and deep drainage D [m/day]. Which of the following equations for 0, the relative water content, is a sensible water balance equation (assuming constant density) for this problem? TE S,0 D P. N
