Lysimeter

c)

Phytometer

d)

Infiltrometer

2.

Water-budget equation is —

a)

InflowOutflow=ΔS\sum \text{Inflow} - \sum \text{Outflow} = \Delta S

b)

OutflowInflow=ΔS\sum \text{Outflow} - \sum \text{Inflow} = \Delta S

c)

Inflow×Outflow=ΔS\sum \text{Inflow} \times \sum \text{Outflow} = \Delta S

d)

Inflow+Outflow=ΔS\sum \text{Inflow} + \sum \text{Outflow} = \Delta S
