Soil moisture is one of crucial parameters in modeling and analysis of groundwater flow.
Measurement of soil water dynamics improves the understanding of processes and is vital for good
groundwater flow model calibration. Determining soil moisture change during time by laboratory
methods, as an integral part of practical classes, requires significant material and financial resources.
Nowadays, relatively cheap sensors for measuring soil moisture are available. They could be
combined with affordable data loggers to speed up the measurement procedure and to reduce cost
price. In this paper, the possibility of using these sensors for measuring soil moisture and their usage
for the educational experimental exercises in a field of hydraulic engineering was investigated. The
paper first presents the procedure of sensor calibration for four different sensors used in two types
of soil, and then their usage in a simple hydraulic engineering experiment.
