ABSTRACT
As part of the MUSE project aimed at optimizing post-mining dewatering through multi-sensor geomonitoring, additional analyses were conducted based on soil samples. The aim of these analyses was to develop retention curves, which help determine critical soil physical parameters and soil moisture levels. Due to the absence of pressure pot analyses, grain size analysis was used to identify these critical parameters, allowing comparison with other data levels. In conclusion, the project results presented, that the methods used demonstrated a high degree of consistency with official soil data (maps and tables) in the working area, making them suitable for future studies on soil moisture, potentially eliminating the need for time-consuming laboratory analyses. The Soil Map 1:50,000 (BK50) data can serve as a benchmark for estimating soil moisture values in large-scale investigations.
