There were used the average monthly long‒term (30 years) data on the mean air temperatures (T), the mean precipitations (P) and the mean potential evapotranspiration (PE) for the coordinates of the meteorological station of the area studied. The highest mean air temperatures were recorded in July (21.8°C), then in August (21.5°C) and in June, (20.0°C), respectively, whereas the highest precipitations were recorded in June and in May (86 mm and 79 mm, respectively). The potential evapotranspiration was the highest in July (129 mm), to drop in August (116 mm) and in June (114 mm), respectively. On average, the real evapotranspiration (RE) was reported to be the highest in June (114 mm), followed by those reported in May (99 mm) and in July (92 mm), respectively. The average water deficit (WD) in the soil was evidenced as the highest in August (71 mm), lower in July (37 mm), September (34 mm) and the lowest in October (8 mm), respectively, when the soil needed irrigation. The analysis denoting to the average water surplus (WS) recorded in January (30 mm) and in February (17 mm) suggested that drainage be needed.
