Hi,

Is it also possible to set the InitWC as a % of FC?
All the best,
Astrid

Hi @astridv, yep you can

aquacropos/aquacrop/blob/ec9b2d9c4748ab790193c2e9abb866c642faa8fc/aquacrop/entities/inititalWaterContent.py#L3


from numba import float64, int64, boolean, types
class InitialWaterContent:
    """
    Initial water content Class defines water content at start of sim
    **Attributes:**\n
    `wc_type` : `str` :  Type of value ('Prop' = 'WP'/'FC'/'SAT'; 'Num' = XXX m3/m3; 'Pct' = % taw))
    `method` : `str` :  method ('Depth' = Interpolate depth points; 'Layer' = Constant value for each soil layer)
    `depth_layer` : `list` : location in soil profile (soil layer or depth)

E.g., for 70% TAW

wc_type='Pct' , value = [70]

100% TAW = FC, 0% = WP
