SECURUS/Use Cases/Green spaces and soil moisture

Measuring soil moisture for street trees and green spaces

Soil moisture sensors show when street trees and green spaces need water. Watering rounds can then be driven according to need instead of schedule.

The problem

Why green spaces and soil moisture matter

Young street trees and green spaces suffer quickly in dry summers. Fixed watering rounds often come too late or too early and tie up staff and water.

The solution

How it works with SECURUS

  • Measure soil moisture and soil temperature in the root zone
  • Notification when moisture falls below a minimum value
  • Plan watering rounds according to actual need
  • Use water and maintenance effort where it is needed
