Soil Moisture Monitoring:
Soil moisture monitoring is no doubt a fundamental tool in irrigation management.

At some point in any given growing season, soil moisture and water management becomes an issue......how can this be managed?

There is a range of probes available, that are telemetry compatible.
Complete probe versions can be either:
  1. Fully sealed access tube and sensors - installed subsurface in both irrigated & dryland cropping systems
  2. Removable sensors from an access tube - access tube cap above ground - irrigated cropping systems
  3. Single sensor options - soil moisture, temperature & bulk EC

Various soil moisture probe brands include:
Weather Stations:
If you are looking to build a complete weather station or just require individual sensors for an application, (eg: rainfall) then there is a variety of sensors that are telemetry compatible. 
  • Temperature & Humidity
  • Wind Speed & Direction
  • Automatic rain gauges - various models
  • Barometric pressure
  • Solar Radiation or PAR Sensors (ET Calculations)

There is the option to view the data on either a mobile phone or on a Desktop PC - if further statistical information is required.
Water Heights:
Monitoring water heights is an important part of irrigation management.

If you need to monitor:
  • Channel heights - stationary or a mobile installation version
  • Dam heights & volume
  • Flood harvesting events and water transfer - then a water height sensor and logger is essential.

There is a range of water height sensors available, that are telemetry compatible. These sensors can be either a pressure transducer or radar type sensors.
The data generated, can be converted into AHD (Australian Height Datum) values or meters above sea level if required

Various water height sensor brands include:
  • Adcon LEV
  • Keller
  • OTT PLS & OTT RLS
  • GLS
