moisture balance concept

Moisture balance refers to the natural process where the amount of water in the soil or environment remains relatively steady over time. It involves the balance between water input—like rain or irrigation—and water loss through evaporation, plant uptake, or runoff. When input equals output, the moisture level stays stable. If input exceeds loss, moisture accumulates; if loss exceeds input, drought or dryness occurs. Understanding this balance helps manage water resources, maintain healthy plants, and prevent issues like flooding or drought, ensuring ecosystems and agriculture remain sustainable.
