Trends in moisture monitoring

With the continuous development of agricultural production, the monitoring of moisture content has become a key aspect of agricultural drought mitigation. In order to improve the accuracy and reliability of monitoring, modern technologies have been continuously introduced into this field. From the development of automation and intelligence, to the fusion of multi-source data and the application of remote sensing technology, to mobile monitoring and standardisation, the trend of moisture monitoring is evolving -

Automation and Intelligence: with the development of IoT, cloud computing, big data and other technologies, moisture monitoring is moving towards automation and intelligence. Soil moisture, temperature, rainfall and other parameters are monitored in real time through a variety of sensors, and the data are analysed and processed using intelligent analysis software to provide a scientific basis for drought mitigation.

Multi-source data fusion: Moisture monitoring needs to be combined with meteorological, hydrological, topographical and other multi-source data to be analysed, so multi-source data fusion technology will become the focus of future development. Through the fusion of multi-source data, the changes in soil moisture can be more comprehensively understood, and the accuracy and reliability of monitoring can be improved.

Application of remote sensing technology: Remote sensing technology has a wide range of application prospects in moisture monitoring with its advantages of macro, rapid and dynamic. Satellite remote sensing technology can quickly obtain large-scale soil moisture information, providing timely and accurate data support for drought relief and disaster reduction.

Mobile monitoring: With the development of mobile communication technology, mobile monitoring will become an important means of moisture monitoring. Soil moisture data can be easily obtained through mobile devices and transmitted to data centre for analysis and processing in real time, which improves the flexibility and convenience of monitoring.

Standardisation and normalisation: With the continuous development of moisture monitoring technology, standardisation and normalisation will become an important development direction in the future. The formulation of unified monitoring standards and technical specifications can ensure the accuracy and comparability of data and improve the reliability of monitoring results.
