Low impact design: Sensors validate California groundwater resource management
Read about Dr. Michelle Newcomer's research into the impact of low impact design structures on infiltration and groundwater recharge in California.
Study groundwater recharge, nutrient or contaminant leaching, and the influence of land management practices on water retention and drainage across a larger area with affordable, easy to use instruments.
Plant growth, microbial activity, nutrient availability and transport, soil erosion, soil compaction, soil respiration, water infiltration and drainage are all dependent on soil moisture. Measure the amount of water and its availability with our water content and water potential sensors.
Track groundwater recharge, water flows through canals or channels, or solute concentration using all-in-one sensors. Combining these sensors with a remote data logger allows you monitor water quality and levels across a wide area without frequent site visits.
LABROS is an innovative collection of soil science laboratory instruments, each designed to work individually or as part of a larger, automated system. Conduct Automated Particle Size Analysis and measure Soil Moisture Release Curves, Saturated and Unsaturated Hydraulic Conductivity, Thermal Conductivity from a single sample.
Measure the movement and distribution of water in the soil to inform water management, predict soil behavior under a variety of moisture conditions, measure groundwater recharge, or optimize agricultural practices for efficient water usage. Field instruments like the SATURO set the standard for simple, accurate, and time-efficient data collection.
Customize your data collection and logging solution by combining multiple METER sensors with the ZL6 Data Logger and ZENTRA Cloud. ZENTRA stores your data in the cloud, allowing easy access to your data and near-real-time reports from all of your data loggers.
Avoid costly field visits by accessing your data from any web-connected device. Analyze it with ZENTRA’s built-in visualization tools, and easily share insights without tracking down log files on individual computers.
Streamline your laboratory analyses and reduce human error using the innovative LABROS soil science laboratory collection. Perform automated particle size analysis, generate soil moisture release curves, or measure thermal and hydraulic conductivity with METER laboratory instruments designed to produce accurate analyses in a fraction of the time of other methods.
Even better, LABROS instruments can be combined to perform all of these analyses from a single sample, saving time and reducing measurement errors due to variations in sample characteristics.

To preserve groundwater and improve irrigation in desert forests, Dr. Wafa Al Yamani studied the impact of using wastewater effluent along motorways.
Government incentives are sometimes provided to convert marginal lands to switchgrass, but New Mexico Tech researcher Michael Wine wanted to investigate whether switchgrass’s deeper root systems would affect the water cycle both during and after crop establishment.
