Aquacheck is a soil moisture probe that is installed in the ground down to 60cm. The probe has 6 sensors distributed every 10cm from the surface to a depth of 60cm. One reading per sensor is logged every half an hour and the data is stored and then uploaded onto an online server every two hours where it can be visualized from any computer and tablet using an online software, www.aquacheckweb.com. The continuous monitoring and recording of the moisture is the same as having eyes under the ground and allows the user to irrigate only when the water is needed. Furthermore, the probe allows the user to know how deep the irrigation has penetrated.
