Abstract
Water movement and redistribution were determined during August 1972 in fields of irrigated and nonirrigated grain sorghum. Soil water flux in the nonirrigated area was upward in all soil-depth intervals during the study. Upward flux in the 15 to 30, 30 to 50 and 50 to 70 cm depths decreased with time. Upward flux in the 130 to 150 cm depth reached a maximum of 0.17 cm per day and then remained near 0.11 cm per day. Immediately after irrigation, flux was downward in all soil depth intervals. Flux in the 130 to 150 cm depth remained downward. Flux in the 15 to 30, 30 to 50 and 50 to 70 cm depths turned upward within one week after irrigation
