#$%^&*AU2018200711A120180816.pdf#####1. ABSTRACT The invention defined herein is a method intended for use in water management, for example agriculture, where mapping of soil water concentration and aeration may assist in improving yields and reducing water waste. It uses temperature data measured in the air above the soil and the temperature at two or more depths in the soil to generate information concerning water concentration and soil aeration at any geographical point in a field.7.
