In Proc of the 3rd Annual General Meeting of the Soil Science Society of East Africa, Muguga, Kenya, 20. https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/handle/0/45010012-8325https://kalroerepository.kalro.org/handle/0/4501Water balance is the algebraic sum of the\total accretion and removal of water within a defined hydrological unit such as a lake a basin, a 1ysimeter, etc., taking into account net changes of storage. Accretion comes mostly from rainfall and irrigation (at least within the tropics), although in extra-tropical areas snow and other forms of precipitation such as dew may be appreciable. Upward movement of water by capillarity from a water table, and lateral seepage from adjacent areas are also possible sources of accretion.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Journal ContributionLysimetersWater balanceSoilHydrological cycle
