Abstract
According to a method and an apparatus for measuring a water content, a thermal conductivity of a measurement target is measured, and a water content of the measurement target is calculated from the thermal conductivity in accordance with prepared data which represents correlation between a thermal conductivity and a water content of the measurement target. A water content management system controls the water content in accordance with the actual water content. If the water content is excessive, it is informed by an alarm system.
