Water Intelligence
Knowing where to source water can be critical in both drought and fire, especially when both are combined
There are a range of emergency responders that need good quality intelligence in real-time, ranging from RFS and Fire teams to air defence crews looking for a deep enough unobstructed dam or waterway they can use to fill helicopter buckets.
Similarly, for those with larger bodies of land trying to stay on top of livestock water demand, this can be a time consuming task but also critical to asset preservation. What can be used and deployed as inexpensive, robust solutions to monitor + preserve water availability in dispersed locations where communications infrastructure might be damaged or patchy?

As crews battle worsening bushfire conditions tonight, we must also remember those communities who’ve run out of water and are being ravaged by drought.

It's been incredible hearing the positive feedback farmer's have given our trough monitor. Here's to Australia embracing more AgTech throughout the industry.
