What is Moisture Mapping?
Moisture mapping refers to the process of tracking and analyzing soil and plant moisture levels. It plays a crucial role in agriculture, landscaping, and environmental management, providing valuable insights into irrigation needs, crop health, and water conservation.
Monitoring Soil Moisture
Methods for Soil Moisture Monitoring:
- Tensiometers: Measure soil suction and provide data on water availability to plants.
- Soil Moisture Sensors: Convert soil dielectric properties into moisture content readings.
- Neutron Probes: Use radioactive isotopes to determine water content at varying depths.
- Remote Sensing: Utilize satellite imagery to estimate soil moisture conditions over large areas.
