Comparison of Gravimetric Method and TDR Method Applied To Medium Alluvial Soils of the Valley of the Oder River in the Region of Brzeg Dolny in the Period of 2010–2014

The paper presents an analysis and comparison of results of measurements of moisture of medium alluvial soils situated in the valley of the Oder river in the region of the bar-rage at Brzeg Dolny. The study was conducted for two soil profiles, designated as profile “A” (in the valley adjacent to the barrage) and “B” (below the barrage structure). The measurements were taken at monthly intervals from April till October in the years 2010–2014, with parallel use of the gravimetric method and the TDR method. Cor-relations of the values of volumetric moisture were determined. The correlation indicates good relationship of the results obtained throughout the whole moisture range.
