Technology tamfitronics The vadose zone, a crucial region for plant water absorption, has traditionally been challenging to measure accurately. Current methods, such as satellite imaging, provide only low-resolution averages and cannot penetrate below the surface. Additionally, the rapid fluctuations of moisture within this region make it difficult to monitor effectively.However, Caltech researchers have introduced an innovative method to address this issue. By utilizing seismic technology originally designed for earthquake monitoring, the researchers have found a way to measure soil moisture in the vadose zone. This groundbreaking approach involves analyzing the vibrations caused by everyday activities, such as traffic, as they pass through the ground.The presence of water in the soil affects the speed of these vibrations, allowing researchers to determine the water content in the vadose zone. This pioneering technique offers the potential for more...
