The document discusses the hydrologic cycle and field water balance. It provides details on:
1) The hydrologic cycle, which describes the circulation of water between the atmosphere, land, oceans and biosphere through processes like evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.
2) Components of the hydrologic cycle like green water, blue water, infiltration, recharge, and groundwater flow.
3) The field water balance accounts for all water inputs, outputs, and storage within a soil area over a period of time based on the law of conservation of mass. It considers precipitation, runoff, evapotranspiration, and changes in water storage.
Soils can process and hold considerable amount of water. They can take in water, and will keep doing so until they are full, or until the rate at which they can transmit water into and through the pores is exceeded. Some of this water will steadily drain through the soil (via gravity) and end up in the waterways and streams, but much of it will be retained, despite the influence of gravity. Much of this retained water can be used by plants and other organisms, thus contributing to land productivity and soil health.
soil water energy concept is all about potential energy,gravitational potential,osmotic potential,pressure potential and total potential energies including units
wind erosion and its control measures, factor affecting wind erosion, mechanics of wind erosion, types of soil transportation, suspension, saltation and surface creep, windbreak, shelterbelt, sand duns

Irrigation Efficiency
Water conveyance Efficiency
It takes into account, conveyance or transit losses such as seepage through canal and evaporation through it.
η_c=W_f/W_r ×100
Where, Wf = water delivered to the field
Wr = water delivered from river or stream
Water Application Efficiency
It is the ratio of water stored in root zone to the water delivered to the field.
η_a=W_s/W_f ×100
Where, WS = water weight stored in root zone
WS = Wf – deep percolation – runoff
Wf = water delivered to the field
This efficiency is also called as farm efficiency and it depends on the irrigation technique that has been adopted.
Water use efficiency
It is the ratio of water used beneficially or consumptively to the water delivered to the field.
η_u=W_u/W_f ×100
Where, Wf = water delivered to the field
WU = consumptively used water
Water Storage Efficiency
This is the ratio of actual water stored in the root zone to the water needed to be stored to bring the moisture content upto field capacity.
Water Distribution efficiency
This evaluate the degree to which water is uniformly distributed to the root zone throughout the field area.
η_d=(1-y/d)×100
Where, d = average depth
y = Average numerical deviation in the depth of water stored from the average depth stored during irrigation
Question – the depths of penetration along the length of a border strip at points 30 m apart were proved. There observed values are 2 m, 1.9 m, 1.8 m, 1.6 m and 1.5 m. Compute the water distribution efficiency.
Solution –
Water distribution efficiency,
η_d=(1-y/d)×100
Where, d = average depth
d = (2+1.9+1.8+1.6+1.5)/5=1.76
And y = average numerical deviation
y = 1/5((2-1.76)+(1.9-1.76)+(1.8-1.76)+(1.76-1.6)+(1.76-1.5)=0.168
Therefore,
η_d=(1-0.168/1.76)×100
η_d=90.45%
Consumptive Use Efficiency
It is the ratio of water used consumptively to the net amount of water from the root zone.
Stream flow representing the runoff phase of the hydrologic cycle is the most important basic data for hydrologic studies. Runoff is generated by rainstorms. Its occurrence and quantity are dependent on the characteristics of the rainfall event, i.e. intensity, duration and distribution. This module highlights about runoff components of the hydrological cycle.

Hydrologic Cycle is also called as Water Cycle. It basically deals with transformation of water in different forms starting from gaseous stage (water vapor) to liquid state (water on earth's surface), and water inside soil as underground water.and again back to gaseous stage. The cycle has no starting or end.
The hydrological cycle is the system which describes the distribution and movement of water between the earth and its atmosphere. The model involves the continual circulation of water between the oceans, the atmosphere, vegetation and land.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

4. • Green Water -
Water that is stored in the soil and is taken up by
plants and lost by evapotranspiration.
• Blue Water -
Water that is found in rivers and lakes as well as
groundwater that is used for agriculture, industrial
and domestic purposes.
8. What is the Hydrologic Cycle?
The hydrologic cycle is the system which
describes the distribution and movement of
water between the earth and its atmosphere.
The model involves the continual circulation of
water between the oceans, the atmosphere,
vegetation and land.
9.
10.
11. Describing the Cycle
Evaporation
Solar energy
powers the cycle.
Heat energy from
the sun causes
evaporation from
water surfaces
(rivers, lakes and
oceans) and
Transpiration from plants
16. Runoff / Surface Flow
The rainwater flows, either over
the ground (run off / surface
flow)
into rivers and back to
the ocean, or…infiltrates
downwards through
the soil and rocks where
it is returned to the oceans
Through groundwater flow
18. Hydrologic Cycle Model: The model shows how water travels endlessly through the
hydrosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. The triangles show global
average values as percentages. Note that all evaporation equals all precipitation when
all of the Earth is considered. Regionally, various parts of the cycle will vary, creating
imbalances and, depending on climate, surpluses in one region and shortages in
another.
19. Possible routes that raindrops may take on their
way to and into the soil surface
• Precipitation that reaches Earth's surface follows a variety of
pathways.
• The process of precipitation striking vegetation or other
groundcover is called interception.
• Intercepted precipitation may be redistributed as throughfall
and stemflow. Precipitation that falls directly to the ground, is
coupled with drips onto the ground from vegetation
(throughfall).
• Intercepted water that drains across plant leaves and down
plant stems is termed stem flow.
• Water reaches the subsurface through infiltration, or
penetration of the soil surface. It then permeates soil or rock
through vertical movement called percolation.
20. The soil-moisture
environment: Precipitation
supplies the soil-moisture
environment. The principal
pathways for water include
interception by plants;
throughfall to the ground;
collection on the surface,
forming overland flow to
streams; transpiration (water
moving from the soil into plant
roots and passing through their
leaves) and evaporation from
plant; evaporation from land
and water; and gravitational
water moving to subsurface
groundwater. Water moves
from the surface into the soil
by infiltration and percolation.
21. The Water Cycle Balance
• Usually the water cycle is in balance, and the
amount of precipitation falling will slowly soak
into the ground and eventually reach the
rivers.
• However, if rain falls for a long period of time
or if the ground is already soaked or saturated
with water, then the chance of flooding is
increased.
22. A Closed System
• The hydrologic cycle is a good example of a
closed system: the total amount of water is
the same, with virtually no water added to or
lost from the cycle.
• Water just moves from one storage type to
another.
• Water evaporating from the oceans is
balanced by water being returned through
precipitation and surface run off.
23. Human Inputs to the Cycle
• Although this is a closed system, there is a natural
balance maintained between the exchange of water
within the system.
• Human activities have the potential to lead to
changes in this balance which will have knock on
impacts.
• For example, as the earth warms due to global
warming, the rate of exchange in the cycle (between
land and sea and atmosphere) is expected to
increase
24. Human Inputs to the Cycle
• Some aspects of the hydrologic cycle can be utilized
by humans for a direct economic benefit.
Example: generation of electricity
(hydroelectric power stations and reservoirs)
These are huge artificial lakes which may
disrupt river hydrology (amount of water in a river).
25. Groundwater Resources
• Groundwater is the part of the hydrologic cycle
that lies beneath the ground and is therefore tied
to surface supplies.
• Groundwater is the largest potential source of
freshwater in the hydrologic cycle – larger than
all surface reservoirs, lakes, rivers, and streams
combined.
• Between Earth's surface and a depth of 3 km
(10,000 ft) worldwide, some 8,340,000 km3
(2,000,000 mi3) of water resides.
27. Field water cycle
• Various sub‐cycles of the total hydrologic
cycle can be defined. One of these describes
the dynamics of water movement on, into,
out of, and below the surface of the Earth.
This subcomponent is called the field water
cycle.
28. • FWB is an account of all quantities of water
added to, subtracted from and stored within a
given volume of soil in a given period of time
in a given field.
• Water balance concept rests upon the law of
conservation of matter.
29. field water cycle
• It is often separated from the full hydrologic cycle, because
many believe that this is the environment where some of the
most important physical, chemical and biological processes
occur (Hillel, 1971).
• The continued functioning of these processes and the
quantity and quality of water associated with them, are
critical to the health and survival of plants and animals
(including us).
30. Water Balance
• A water balance can be established for any area of
earth's surface by calculating the total precipitation
input and the total of various outputs.
• The water‐balance approach allows an examination of
the hydrologic cycle for any period of time.
• The purpose of the water balance is to describe the
various ways in which the water supply is expended.
• The water balance is a method by which we can
account for the hydrologic cycle of a specific area, with
emphasis on plants and soil moisture.
31. Field Water Balance
Water input and output is not always in
balance locally
P ≠ R + ET
(Something is missing ?)
P = R + ET + ΔS
ΔS is the change in water storage
32. • The water balance is defined by the general hydrologic
equation, which is basically a statement of the law of
conservation of mass as applied to the hydrologic
cycle. In its simplest form, this equation reads
Inflow = Outflow + Change in Storage
• Water balance equations can be assessed for any area
and for any period of time.
• The process of ‘making an overall water balance for a
certain area’ thus implies that an evaluation is
necessary of all inflow, outflow, and water storage
components of the flow domain - as bounded by the
land surface, by the impermeable base of the
underlying groundwater reservoir, and by the
imaginary vertical planes of the area’s boundaries.
33. The water balance method has four characteristic features.
• A water balance can be assessed for any subsystem of the
hydrologic cycle, for any size of area, and for any period of
time;
• A water balance can serve to check whether all flow and
storage components involved have been considered
quantitatively;
• A water balance can serve to calculate one unknown of the
balance equation, provided that the other components are
known with sufficient accuracy;
• A water balance can be regarded as a model of the
complete hydrologic process under study, which means it
can be used to predict what effect the changes imposed on
certain components will have on the other components of
the system or subsystem.
34. Zones of Saturation
Unsaturated zone
– Zone between the land surface and
water table
– Pores contain water and air
– Also called as vadose zone or the zone
of aeration
• Saturated zone
– Pores are completely filled with water
– Contains water at greater than
atmospheric pressure
– Also called phreatic zone
• Water table
– Surface where the pore water pressure is
atmospheric
– Divide between saturated and
unsaturated zone
• Capillary fringe
– Zone immediately above the water table
that gets saturated by capillary forces
35. • Field water balance can be measured and A
soil-moisture budget can be established for
any area of earth's surface by measuring the
precipitation input and its distribution to
satisfy the "demands" of plants, evaporation,
and soil moisture storage in the area
considered.
• A budget can be constructed for any time
frame, from minutes to years.
36. Overall water balance
• For calculating the overall water balance of a
particular soil/ region water balance of the
follwing are worked out.
1, Lnd water balance
2, unsaturated water balance and
3, ground water balance
Integrating all three of the water balances (land
surface, unsaturated zone, groundwater), the
overall water balance is defined.
