| |
| This "poster paper" introduces the reader to a state-of-the-art, practical technology to measure soil salinity and its spatial relations in detail in irrigated fields developed by J. D. Rhoades and colleagues at the U. S. Salinity Laboratory using |
- Mobilized, EM and four-electrode sensors
- GPS, geostatistics
- Efficient ground-truthing techniques
|
| This technology was developed for |
- Inventorying (mapping) and monitoring soil salinity
- Evaluating the adequacy and appropriateness of irrigation and drainage systems and practices
- Locating the areal sources of salt-loading within diffuse irrigated landscapes
|
| |
| Content: |
- Discussions of the theory and software developed for ground-truthing are presented
- Descriptions of the equipment are given with illustrations
- Examples are presented demonstrating the method's utility
- References are provided to publications where the technology is presented in more detail
