“…In order to overcome such problems, Aydin (2008) proposed an interactive way (called E-DiGOR 485 model by the author) for predicting daily actual soil evaporation, soil water storage and drainage rates, since these components are strongly interdependent. The applicability of E-DiGOR model to a wide range of environments has been tested by different researchers using field-based measurements (Aydin, 2008;Aydin et al, 2008;Kurt, 2011). Similarly, the model had been successfully applied to different environmental conditions in Turkey, Japan and Sri Lanka (Aydin et al, 2005;Onder et al, 2009;Aydin et al, 2012).…”
