Continuous monitoring of soil-water pressures, rainfall and runoff under natural conditions was tested as a technique for determining soil hydrologic characteristics of a remote forest watershed plot in Hawaii. A completely battery-powered (and thus portable) pressure transducer-scanner-recorder system was assembled for monitoring of soil-water pressures in the tensiometric range.
