| Research Abstract |
The main objective of this study was to estimate the spatial distribution of soil hydraulic parameters from changes in soil moisture content collected from a non-destructive method. In this study, surface ground penetrating radar(GPR), a non-destructive geophysical method often used in natural resource exploration, was used 1) for visualizing unsaturated water flow, and 2) for estimating the spatial distribution of soil hydraulic properties that reproduce measured moisture content dynamics well. In this study, a lab experiment was conducted using a large lysimeter and a field study was conducted at Sakae-cho experimental field in Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology to obtain the spatial distribution of hydraulic conductivity for the surface soil from observed moisture content data.
