Description

It is well known that the variation in natural environmental gamma-ray levels is mainly caused by the change in soil moisture. Some studies have been made estimating the soil moisture by using the gamma-ray total exposure rates. In this paper, we discuss several methods in order to find the best method for evaluating the soil moisture and present some of the results
