Comments to Authors
The authors have showcased a commendable effort in crafting the manuscript. Not only does it exhibit rigorous research, but the article also seamlessly integrates findings from a rich tapestry of references and prior literature. Such a comprehensive backdrop adds credence to the work presented and establishes its place within the broader scientific discourse.
However, I'd like to offer some constructive suggestions that could further enhance the clarity and depth of this manuscript. One crucial addition I recommend is a succinct overview of the various soil moisture techniques in the introductory section. By doing so, readers can gain a foundational understanding, creating a clearer link between the moisture content and the water reuse model the authors have conceptualized.
In relation to Table 1, it would be prudent to incorporate an additional column that sheds light on the evolving changes occurring at the surface level. Such a column would elucidate the subsequent impacts on soil composition and other relevant parameters. As for Tables 2 and 3, I've observed that the data seems to hark back to roughly 15 years ago. While older data can be valuable, it's essential for the authors to articulate the rationale behind this selection. Were there specific reasons for opting for this dataset? Additionally, outlining the potential limitations of this data would add a layer of transparency and provide readers with context regarding its applicability and relevance.
In anticipation of the next version of this manuscript, I urge the authors to address the aforementioned suggestions and insights. By doing so, I believe the article will be in an even stronger position to contribute to our collective understanding of the subject matter.
