Monitoring electrolyte movements in porous media has numerous applications in civil and environmental engineering, but new techniques are needed that can provide global spatial distribution and local properties of the pore fluid. Different imaging techniques have been proposed. Magnetic resonance imaging and X-ray computed tomography provide very high resolution. But they are very expensive, not widely available, and can be applied only in laboratory experiments.
