Abstract

The paper suggests a model of dielectric properties of bound water in wet soils. The application of the model to the description of dielectric and radiophysical properties of wet soils in microwave electromagnetic range is considered. The comparisons of theoretical and experimental dielectric constants provided show good reliability of the suggested model.
