With agriculture consuming 80% of U.S. water (USDA, 2022), efficient management is critical amid changing weather patterns and resource scarcity. Our suite of smart devices help people with smarter water management. Our Tank Gauge Float, Tank Gauge Pressure, Trough Gauge, Rain Gauge, and Dam Gauge deliver modern, precise water tracking to streamline farming operations and give you peace of mind.
The Challenge of Water Tracking in Agriculture
Traditional methods burden farmers with inefficiencies:
· Manual Inspections: Time-consuming checks zap productivity.
· Visual Estimates: Inaccurate guesses waste water.
· Old Gauges: Unreliable data delays action.
· Paper Logs: Trend analysis is cumbersome.
These outdated tools fall short in modern agriculture, where real-time data drives yields, cost savings, and conservation.
Transforming Water Management
Our Tank Gauge Float, Tank Gauge Pressure, Trough Gauge, Rain Gauge, and Dam Gauge redefine water tracking with tailored precision and connectivity.
Choosing the Right Gauge
· Tank Gauge Float: Ideal for tanks up to 4 meters tall, with 20mm-accurate float sensors.
· Tank Gauge Pressure: Perfect for tanks up to 10 meters, with accuracy within 50mm, using pressure sensors for deep monitoring.
· Trough Gauges: Designed for livestock troughs, ensuring reliable water level tracking.
· Rain Gauge: Tracks rainfall accurately, optimizing harvesting decisions.
· Dam Gauge: Built for large water bodies like dams, delivering consistent readings.
Each gauge offers Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, Sigfox, or Satellite connectivity, syncing data to your app from any farm. Powered by long-lasting AA batteries (lasting over a year), no solar or wiring required. Our UV-resistant gauges are easy to install and sync effortlessly to the app.
Setting Up Your Account and Connecting Devices
· Download the Rain Harvesting Connect App: Available for smartphones.
· Create an Account: Add your Tank Gauge Float, Tank Gauge Pressure, Trough Gauge, Rain Gauge, and Dam Gauge.
· Connect Devices: Follow app prompts to link via your chosen connectivity (e.g., Sigfox for troughs).
Customizing Alerts and Notifications
· Set Thresholds: Define when you want to be notified —e.g., alert me when my tank reaches 30%, or when my trough is at 20%.
Benefits of Smart Water Management
Resource Conservation
Reduce water use by 15-30% (Irrigation Association, 2021) with alerts and knowledge about where your water is going.
Time and Labor Savings
Save 5-10 hours weekly (FAO, 2017) by:
· Automating trough checks with Trough Gauges
· Skipping tank inspections with Tank Gauge Float or Tank Gauge Pressure
· Streamlining data analysis via the app
Data-Driven Decisions
· Track trends across all gauges
· Link Trough Gauge data to livestock health
· Correlate Rain Gauge readings with irrigation needs
Practical Applications
Crop Irrigation
· Optimize tanks with Tank Gauge Float or Tank Gauge Pressure
· Time watering with Rain Gauge data
Livestock Management
· Ensure troughs stay full with Trough Gauges
· Detect issues early with alerts
Rainwater Harvesting
· Monitor storage with Tank Gauge Float or Tank Gauge Pressure
· Maximize collection using Rain Gauge
Conclusion
When used as part of an ecosystem, Rain Harvesting Connect Tank Gauge Float, Tank Gauge Pressure, Trough Gauges Rain Gauge, and Dam Gauge simplify water tracking for U.S. farmers.
