Due to the increasing share of droughts all around the world, there is a major need of controlling and optimizing the water content in the soil. The presented review contains characteristics of soil moisture measuring methods. The termogravimertic direct method, as well as indirect methods such as: electrometric method, capacity method, frequency domain reflectometry method, time domain reflectometry method and neutron method have been described in this paper. Methods shown in this paper have significant influence on soil moisture monitoring as well as on the increased efficiency of water usage in order to achive sustainable irrigation of the soil.
