This project seeks to design, develop and test an integrated measuring tool that can be installed and recovered from the bed of streams and rivers.

The current project was devised in the knowledge that increased sodicity and salinity of percolating water will alter the saturated conductivity of many soils, especially sodic soils.

In the arid and semi-arid regions of the world, irrigation has enabled previously unarable tracts of land to be used for a wide variety of agricultural activities.
