Estimated water budget for June 3-9, 2009

In contrast to the previous week, there was little to no rain and a moderate amount of evapotranspiration at all sites for the week of June 3-9. Tensiometers and Watermark moisture probes at Blueberry Hill and other sites generally indicated that the soil was close to requiring irrigation. Due to the low temperatures and the high propability of precipitation forecast for the next few days I chose yesterday to postpone irrigation until the current front passes. I will be returning to Blueberry Hill on Friday to re-evaluate soil moisture conditions. Stay tuned.
