Abstract
Preliminary tests on small quantities of sand with varying moisture content using a capacitive probe yielded reliable data as to the percentage of moisture. These tests indicate that the design of the monitoring system is feasible, provided that further tests are carried out and that an actual full-scale system be evaluated.
