The challenge

What operators are up against

Water management & conservation depend on conditions and assets that change between scheduled inspections. Developing equipment faults may emerge without a clear indication of which site, zone, or asset needs attention. Utility, operations, and maintenance teams often rely on manual readings and disconnected systems, making it hard to compare current conditions with normal operation. This delays response and increases the chance of downtime, waste, safety exposure, or service disruption.

The solution

How Agronomic Monitoring for Farmers addresses it

Agronomic Monitoring for Farmers collects temperature and environmental readings across water management & conservation and sends the readings to a secure cloud application. Dashboards and configurable rules show condition trends and early fault indicators, retaining history by site, zone, or asset. This gives utility, operations, and maintenance teams the context to plan maintenance before failure, helping them reduce unplanned downtime and unnecessary service and document the response.

How it works

Agronomic Monitoring is part of the Water to Grow platform, which also includes Irrigation Control, Water Management, & Effluent Management. Combined, the platform provides accurate, multi-depth soil data to support better irrigation & effluent management decisions. The Agronomic Monitoring module provides farmers with precise, real-time insights into soil conditions to help make smarter irrigation and pasture management decisions. Using EnviroPro multi-level soil probes, it measures soil moisture and temperature at four depths down to 40 cm, giving a clear view of the root zone. This data is accessible on your phone or desktop, allowing you to track trends, identify refill points, monitor drainage, and understand seasonal patterns. The system provide optional “days-to-refill” indicators, while alerts and thresholds notify you of low moisture, over-saturation, or temperature conditions. Heatmaps and paddock comparison features in the Water to Grow app make it simple to visualise conditions across your property.
