| Abstract | An automated soil moisture network for continuous measurement of soil moisture in the top 30 cm of the soil over an 8000 $km^{2}$ region has been established. The network consists of 32 stations encompassing a diversity of soil types. The measurements are being used to improve drought, flood, and agronomic production forecasts. In addition, the data are being used to examine the accuracy of remotely sensed measurements of soil moisture and the degree to which they represent natural variability across the landscape. The data were used to evaluate soil moisture conditions during the SMEX03 experiment. The data are being used to support testing of AMSR, AMSR-E, PSR, and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) observations. Gravimetric samples were collected for the period from June 23, 2003 to July 2, 2003 for comparison to both the in situ network and the remotely sensed data. During the experiment, daily in situ soil moisture measurements were taken and plant and soil samples collected for oven drying and determination of moisture content. The automated network provided continuous in situ soil moisture measurements throughout the coverage area. A wide variation in soil moisture was observed both over the time period and from site to site |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
