As the air humidity in the closed space gradually increases, the water vapor may condense on the container wall, top, or other cold surfaces and drip back into the soil or water body. This can easily lead to uneven water circulation, affecting the stability of soil moisture, uneven water distribution, and making it difficult to control the water replenishment efficiency and amount.
