Estimated Water Budget June 25 to July 1, 2009

Soils were wet but not water logged at most of my study sites as of yesterday. Tensiometers at the sandy loam and loamy sand sites all read between 8-11 cb. At one lowland site in Northfield however the water table was within approximately 2 feet of the surface. This site has shown a propensity for flooding, likely due to it's elevation, proximity to a lake and relatively fine textured soil.

With respect to the precipitation recorded for Cherryfield, my rain gauge appears to be consistent with those posted online for the immediate vicinity.
