Abstract :
This paper presents a possibility of supervision against leaks in artificially made river canals, which can be done by estimating soil moisture content with TerraSAR-X synthetic radar aperture images. For soil moisture estimation problem an empirical model was used, which estimates dielectric constant and later on this can be transformed into soil water moisture content.
