Abstract
A computationally simple, physically based model capable of generating reliable estimates of volumetric soil moisture content is described. The model requires only rainfall, pan evaporation, and soil column description by texture group as inputs, and predicts soil moisture values within as many as three user‐defined soil horizons. The microcomputer based model is intended for practical engineering and agricultural applications.Keywords
