Project Background
The primary goal of the project is to reduce the cost of ranch operations while conserving operational and environmental resources on the ranch. This porject proposal addresses a need for pastoral operators to be able to remotely monitor water well and/or water storage tank status in real time. Historically, ranchers have had to manually monitor water resources on remote grazing lands in order to make use of them. This program seeks to provide remedy to that requirement and provides additional benefits of reduced environmental impact allowing ranch manpower resources to be better used in more productive ways.
