   Abstract : Economic impacts of drought events can amass to billions of Euros within the EU. Ways to estimate the amount of water in the soil is thus very valuable to gather information which could be used for decision making. This thesis looks at different ways to estimate the amount of water in the soil, the so called soil moisture. READ MORE
