International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN)

The International Soil Moisture Network (ISMN) is a global platform that collects and shares data about the amount of water in the soil. Using specialized sensors placed in different regions, it helps monitor soil moisture levels across the world. This information is vital for weather forecasting, agriculture, drought management, and understanding climate change. By providing consistent and accessible soil data, ISMN supports scientists, policymakers, and farmers in making informed decisions to manage water resources and improve environmental sustainability.
