This PR updates documentation, inspired by PR #148

  • Revised description of events.in; updated and expanded details about irrigation
  • Updated sipnet.out documentation:
    • remove obsolete params (fPAR, litterWater)
    • added missing terms and improved definitions
  • Added equations to define irrigation events and interception.
  • Refactored water balance section, including addition of equations for evapotranspiration (and its components, E and T)

Please review these sections - I've attached the rendered html versions for reference; especially helpful for eqns in model-description.md
doc_updates.zip

  • Model Outputs

This looks good to me, with disclaimer that I did not cross-reference it against current code. @dlebauer are there any parts you'd like me to check more carefully?

If I'm interpreting the current code right these are all required at the moment. Is there a plan to change this?
