Application of Soil Resistivity to Determine Soil Moisture

Eugene Williams investigates the different methods and ways by which soil moisture can be measured. Soil resistivity has a strong affinity with water content and this goes a long way in determining soil moisture. As much as geology or soil type can influence the distribution of moisture content, soil resistivity also plays a large role. Using the Wenner Array of profiling the correlation between soil moisture content and its resistivity values are compared.
