This guidebook features clear, user-friendly information about how soil moisture is measured and how soil moisture data can be applied to understand current and future water supplies. It provides context on soil moisture data and its use in mountain watersheds, discussed through the lens of interests and questions expressed by community members in the Roaring Fork who work in water management, municipalities, agriculture, conservation, recreation, and education.
