SoilMoisture and Stevens are the Soil Experts

Soil hydrology is a fundamental aspect across various disciplines – helping engineers, agencies, utilities, researchers, and other manage infrastructure development, environmental sustainability, climate resilience, water resources, land movement, and water utilization within the soil-plant-atmosphere system.

Soil hydrology provides insights into the complex interactions between soil, water, and the environment – enabling informed decision-making and sustainable management practices across various sectors, including agriculture, engineering, environmental science, and natural resource management.

Universities and Research

Soil hydrology studies contribute to understanding groundwater recharge processes, enhance hydrological models used in climate studies, carbon respiration and sequestration processes, soil-plant-atmosphere systems, and more.

Engineering

Knowledge of soil permeability, water retention and drainage properties is crucial for ensuring the stability and longevity of infrastructure such as dams, bridges and buildings.

Agriculture

Understanding how water moves through the soil profile helps optimize irrigation schedules, mitigates soil erosion, and maintain soil fertility. Soil moisture levels and water holding capacity help farmers make informed decisions about crop and plant quality and yields.

Government and
Utilities

Understanding water movement through soil helps develop strategies and policies for water conservation, water forecasts, landslides, flood control, groundwater recharge, erosion, and ecosystem resilience.

Other

Some businesses monitor soil conditions as part of their environmental stewardship efforts, focusing on prevention, and bioremediation. This involves measuring water movement, contaminant distribution, and microbial processes within the soil.
