Short summary
Water movement through unsaturated soils generates streaming potential (SP). Reliability of SP for the determination of soil properties is investigated. First, influence of hydraulic and geophysical soil parameters on the SP signals is assessed using global sensitivity analysis. Then, a Bayesian approach is used to assess the identifiability of the parameters from SP data. The results of a synthetic drainage column experiment show that all parameters can be reasonably estimated from SP signals.
