Dales Lands Net Soil Monitor

Is a bunded store filling? Do the leaky dams activate early enough? When does a runoff start? You need the data to prove that your plan is effective.

Current multi-depth soil sensors are expensive, so there are very few of these sensors in the field. Without a soil monitor,
decisions are based on models that use surface readings along with historic data that may be outdated in a changing climate.
