Water abstraction and irrigation monitoring

What is the irrigation industry?

Irrigation is the application of controlled amounts of water to plants at needed intervals. Irrigation helps grow crops, maintain landscapes, and revegetate disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of less than average rainfall. Irrigation also has other uses in crop production, including frost protection, suppressing weed growth in grain fields, and preventing soil consolidation.

As well as agriculture, irrigation systems are also used for cooling livestock, dust suppression, disposal of sewage, and in the mining industry. They are also often combined with drainage, which is the removal of surface and sub-surface water from a given area.

Why is measurement important?

The accurate flow of water and other liquids in the irrigation industry is fundamental to the process. Too little water, and the plants will die; likewise, too much water and the plants are at risk of being drowned. Having accurate measurement allows the operators to monitor the flow of water and ensure it remains at its optimum level.
