Soil moisture monitoring using near-infrared sensing technique and the Internet in a coffee plantation field
We have developed two types of soil moisture monitoring system and performed long-term test employment of these systems in the coffee plantation in Hawaii. One is a lower cost and smaller size near-infrared moisture sensor developed by the SANYO Electric (Co., Ltd.), the other is a modified system for monitoring soil information, called SIMS(Soil Information Monitoring System). We settled them ...
متن کاملThe Study of Improvement of Dispersive Soil Using Magnetic Field
In this study, the feasibility of using magnetic technology to reduce the dispersion of soil has been investigated. The reference treatment was potable water and 3 magnetic water devices (with different magnetic intensities) were used for magnetizing the potable water. The results showed that the magnetic field has a significant effect in order of 5 percent on increasing of magnesium concentrat...
متن کاملRetention of Water by Soil on a Suction
The tension phenomenon described herein occurs in a wide variety of porous materials, including sands, clays, agricultural soils and porous rocks. When some of the water is removed from a water-saturated porous system, the residual water evidently remains physically interconnected, judging from the fact that water can be transmitted through the system at reduced water content by suction. The re...
متن کاملHeated distributed temperature sensing for field scale soil moisture monitoring.
Characterizing both spatial and temporal soil moisture (θ) dynamics at site scales is difficult with existing technologies. To address this shortcoming, we developed a distributed soil moisture sensing system that employs a distributed temperature sensing system to monitor thermal response at 2 m intervals along the length of a buried cable which is subjected to heat pulses. The cable temperatu...
متن کاملSoil Water Content Monitoring Using Electromagnetic Induction
The use of electromagnetic ~EM! induction measurements was evaluated to predict water content in the upper 1.50 m of a prototype engineered barrier soil profile designed for waste containment. Water content was monitored with a neutron probe, and bulk soil electrical conductivity was monitored with a Geonics EM38 ground conductivity meter at ten locations at approximately monthly intervals over...
