The logger is protected by a steel drum, so that it can&#039;t be damaged by grazing sheep or cows.<br /> <br /> Downloading water level data from wetland piezometers<br /> Logger recording soil moisture data from buried sensors on the hill slope at Eddleston<br /> <br /> ==Contact==<br /> Contact BGS Enquiries for further information<br /> [[category:Eddleston ]]</div>
