| Abstract/Contents: | Evaluates the water loss of irrigation during the day compared to the same amount of water lost at night. Discusses the need for daytime watering and the causes of evaporation. Suggests that the biggest problem facing the prospects of watering during the day is inaccurate common knowledge. Cites that, "common knowledge is a hard thing to argue against." |
