Regional soil moisture monitoring network in the Raam catchment in the Netherlands

Abstract: We have established a soil moisture profile monitoring network in the 223 km 2 Raam Catchment, a tributary of the Meuse River in the Netherlands. This catchment faces water shortage during summers and excess of water during winters and after extreme precipitation events. Water management can benefit from reliable information on the soil water availability 15 in the unsaturated zone. In situ measurements provide a direct source of information on which water managers can base their decisions. Moreover, these mea… Show more

“…The concept of neutron scattering method is to measure the quantity of hydrogen nuclei existing per unit soil volume which is directly related and corresponding to the quantity of water molecules present in same volume. The procedure includes injection of a fast neutron source and counting number of slow neutrons for water content measurement [29]. To attain appropriation counting, rates are adjusted and calibrated to totals obtained in a pure water tank and then standardized against volumetric measurement of soil water content.…”
