  • METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE MAGNITUDE OF AN IRRIGATION EVENT IN A SECTION OF SOIL, AND RELATED SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20130319089
    Abstract: A method for determining an amount of moisture that has entered a section of soil via irrigation, includes sensing at a first moment in time a total amount of moisture in a sub-section of the section of soil, and in response to the amount sensed at the first moment in time, determining a total amount of moisture, Winitial, in the section of soil at the first moment in time. Sensing at a second, subsequent moment in time a total amount of moisture in a sub-section of the section of soil, and in response to the amount sensed at the second moment in time, determining a total amount of moisture, Wtot, in the section of soil at the second moment in time. Then, comparing the two Winitial and Wtot by, for example, subtracting Winitial from Wtot.
