The observation time of soil moisture content in runoff field is generally once every 10 days, that is, sampling on the 1st, 11th and 21st of each month. In the runoff field, the soil moisture content after rain must be measured. The sampling location is in the protection zone of runoff plot, and the gravity difference method is used in the conventional method. In the protection zone of the residential area, the soil drill (or Luoyang shovel) is used to take samples according to the representative depth of 10cm, 20cm, 40cm, 60cm, 80cm and 100cm.
