New RiverWare methods were developed to model the soil moisture column in irrigated areas. Excess water applied to the fields (not needed by crops) can be used to refill the soil moisture columns. When surface water deliveries are less than the crop demand, crops can draw on water stored in the soil moisture column to meet the demand.
