It’s all about soil health because that's what gives us the Total Ecological Solution. We got this from our agronomist, Neal Fehringer about our project in Pine Bluffs, where we surface applied formerly produced water. You can find this info at AgWaterSoilSolutions.com.
Here's his summary:
"I checked on the soil moisture reading for Pine Bluffs this morning. At the 4 inch depth, soil moisture was 26% right before turning the water on. It increased to about 61% by the time irrigation was done with the first batch. With the wind and warm weather, it has decreased to 30%. For the 8 inch depth, moisture was less than 45% prior to irrigation. It increased to 51% and has remained stable at that level. Soil moisture did not change for the 12 inch depth and lower from the first batch of water applied."
