CHALLENGES IN COLLECTING DATA

The problem with manualmeasurements is thatthese are less accuratethan automaticmeasurements and often

cannot be completelyreproduced.

The first problem primarily hasto do with entering datamanually, while the secondproblem is caused by differentcolleagues in the field takingmeasurements in differentways

People can cheat by sendinginformation without being inthe field based on their

experience / guess.

Ultrasonic and sonic instruments

Non-Contact Water Level Sensors

http://www.stevenswater.com/water_level_sensors/non-contact_info.html

Both ultrasonic and sonic level instrumentsoperate on the basic principle of using sound

waves to determine fluid level. The frequencyrange for ultrasonic methods is ~20-200 kHz,and sonic types use a frequency of 10 kHz. a

transducer directs sound waves downward in bursts onto the surface of the water. Echoes of

these waves return to the transducer, whichperforms calculations to convert the distance of

wave travel into a measure of level. Forpractical applications of this method, you must

consider a number of factors.

EC-5 Lowest Cost Volumetric Water Content Sensor

Small Area of Influence

http://www.decagon.com/products/soils/volumetric-water-content-sensors/ec-5-soil-moisture-small-area-of-influence/

Reasons to pick the EC-5: If volumetric water content is the only

measurement you need.

If you are on a tight budget. If you want a basic, all-purpose sensorwith excellent accuracy.

If you are interested in a small volume ofinfluence (eg., field spatial variability, lab

column studies, or greenhouse research).
