(a) True

(b) False

The question was asked in quiz.

This question is from Salinity and Water-logging in portion Water Logged Reclamation and Saline Soils for Agricultural Purposes of Irrigation Engineering

Answer 1

The correct option is (a) True

For explanation I would say: Hydrologic equation:- Inflow = Outflow + Storage

Inflow represents the amount of water that enters the sub-soil in various processes. The term outflow represents mainly evaporation from the soil, transpiration from plants, and underground drainage of the track. The term storage represents a change in the ground-water reservoir.
