Using neutron-computed tomography techniques, scientist measure in-situ water content

Scientists at the University of California in Davis present results from a newly developed non-invasive technique that uses thermal neutron attenuation to measure spatial and temporal distribution of water in soils. The study, published in the September-October 2008 issue of Soil Science Society of America Journal focuses on the McClellan Nuclear Radiation Center in Sacramento, Calif., developed by the US Air Force.
