Water moving through the soil can be sampled by a variety of lysimeters, but in many cases the volume of water exceeds the capacity of the collection vessel. The design of a simple and inexpensive volume recorder used to measure large volumes of soil water from individual lysimeters is presented. During tests in the field, the volume recorder provided good estimates of water volumes collected by tension-free lysimeters. The compactness and easy portability of the unit makes it ideal for year-round use at remote field locations to determine variability in the flow of soil water.
