To begin the project, the hypothesis was precipitation would heighten soil water content and higher wind speed would lower it. When comparing the data collected on precipitation amounts, wind speed, and soil moisture in three different spots of soil, conclusions were drawn based on the hypothesis. Data shows when the wind speed is higher, the soil moisture drops slightly, but factors like humidity also play a part in these results.
