Caltech researchers have developed a new method to measure soil moisture in the shallow subterranean region between the surface and underground aquifers. This region, called the vadose zone, is ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a wireless system that uses radio transmitters and receivers to estimate soil moisture in agricultural fields at multiple depths in real ...

While it's important to keep crops irrigated, you certainly don't want to overwater them – particularly in regions where water is scarce. With that in mind, scientists have now developed a method of ...

A group of researchers from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has unveiled a pioneering method to measure soil moisture in the vadose zone-the shallow region between the earth's surface ...

Soil moisture is easy to see when your favorite Little Leaguer slides into second base the day after a big summer storm. The mud splattered on that little hustler’s uniform tells the story. Trying to ...

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The newest mission from NASA will soon provide detailed data as it closely monitors the on-going drought. The system is designed to scratch below the earth's surface. NASA's ...

A University of Colorado Boulder research team says they will be using drones to measure soil moisture at a test irrigation farm in northeast Colorado. Professor Brian Argrow tells the Daily Camera ...

Every winter, I bring my tropical plants and my cold-tender plants indoors, turning my house into a makeshift greenhouse. My shelves become crowded with plants and glow purple from full-spectrum grow ...

Using state of the art techniques, researchers use vibrations from traffic to measure underground soil moisture. Caltech researchers have developed a new method to measure soil moisture in the shallow ...
