Great Southern Soil Moisture Monitoring

Local soil moisture conditions:

Under the SCF Future Drought Fund project 5x Metos NB-IoT Rain Gauge Stations & 5x EnviroPro soil moisture monitoring probes have been installed.

These stations record current soil moisture conditions & rainfall across selected locations in the Great Southern region of Western Australia.

All soil moisture monitoring stations record rainfall and soil moisture & soil temperature conditions in 8x 10cm increments within the soil profile.

Soil moisture graphs will update weekly  (from 1st May) throughout growing seasons and data is also accessible via the Farming Forecaster website.
