There is also a supporting piece called "Soil Water Monitoring - list of devices and distributors" on the same webpage The webpage address for this information is http://www.agric.nsw.gov.au/reader/3899 [Bruce comments.. At last! - a really useful guide to the questions to ask when selecting a soil moisture measuring solution... asking the right questions is half the battle won.. getting the right answers is the other 97 per cent ;\ This is a useful resource, especially the two articles that describe in a very practical way the use installation of tensiometers, some of the problems and common every-day maintenance aspects that can be expected. The list of suppliers is targeted to the NSW state in Australia, but also lists the international companies. I also found many other worthwhile links whilst browsing the above sections. Good job, NSW Agriculture. The article mentioned links to these sections and is well worth a look: Soil water and tools management Soil water monitoring: choosing the right device Soil water monitoring: list of devices and distributors Gopher gets results Tensiometer tips Tensiometers need periodic maintenance ] --------------------------------------------------------------------- David Williams Irrigation Extension and Development Lower Lachlan River, Lower Murrumbidgee River and Coleambally Irrigation Area NSW Agriculture P.O.
