The use of soil moisture measuring devices such as tensiometers,
resistance blocks,neutron probes, etc., have been extensively
used
for monitoring the movement of water within the the soil area 
occupied by the active root system of a "crop" grown on the land
treatment site, as well as the area below that point for purposes
of
keeping track of water thus applied which has been lost to deep
percolation.  We manufacturer such devices.  If you would like to
have more specific information sent directly contact me at:
