Measurement of soil moisture is necessary in several soil and hydrological investigations. Soil moisture measurements are needed for scheduling irrigations, in experimental studies on crop water requirements and evaluating surface irrigation systems. Soil moisture measurements are also needed in areas of less rainfall for evaluating different moisture conservation practices. There are many methods available for measuring soil moisture. Most of [...]
