Soil moisture mapping

Soil moisture mapping involves measuring and visualizing how much water is present in the soil across different areas. This information helps farmers, researchers, and resource managers understand soil health, plan irrigation, and manage water resources effectively. Technologies such as remote sensing satellites, ground sensors, and data analysis are used to create these maps. They show variations in moisture levels over large regions, enabling informed decisions for agriculture, drought monitoring, and environmental management, ultimately promoting sustainable land use and ensuring crops and ecosystems receive the right amount of water.
