Landslides occur commonly after heavy rainfall. More accurate and immediate prediction of landslides for early warning purpose can be achieved when real time water content of the soil slope is known. In this experimental study, the water content was measured using time domain reflectometers (TDR). Five TDRs were installed with equal vertical spacing in a test pit. The measured results were sent to and stored on a web server and real time monitoring was made online. All TDRs results showed a good and accurate water content response of the soil to the rainfall from top to the bottom of the test pit.
