Fig. 6 Depth-integrated soil water content (A) within and (B) below the root zone and for (C) the entire monitored soil profile depth during 1997. The refill points indicate the soil water content at which irrigation was scheduled to replenish the water deficit. The allowable depletion of the available soil water (ASW) was 33% in February to June, and 67% during the rest of the year
