SIX lysimeters were used to control water tables at 30, 60, and 90 cm below the muck soil surface for sugar-cane culture. An evaluation of effective rainfall showed that about 3.4 cm of rainfall was stored in the soil for each 100 cm increase in water table depth. More water was required in the dry season and grand growth period for a high water table than for a low water table. Water required to produce 1 kg of cane varied from 89 to 118 kg.
