Introduced new option by SurfaceCover switch in Soil evaporation module. The SurfaceCover means that the soil can be partly covered by a plastic sheet to prevent evaporation. The degree of cover is governed by the SoilCoverEvap parameter. The Cover is primarily covering the DripIrrigCover if the soil is partitioned because of drip irrigation. Note that SurfaceCover switch will only influence evaporation and not infiltration to soil profile. (See Soilcover parameter in the Surface Water module to prevent infiltration). PEJ/LK
