Abstract:
Zhang (2019, https://doi.org/10.1002/wrcr.v54.4) criticizes several of the assumptions and parameter choices of the model of Kuil et al. (2018, https://doi.org/10.1002/2017WR021420) and claims that, due to an inconsistency in the irrigation equation, the key findings should be interpreted with much caution. We address each of the comments and show that the conclusions of Kuil et al. (2018, https://doi.org/10.1002/2017WR021420) remain fully valid.
