Regional Long Range (LoRa) Networks to Improve High Elevation Flood Irrigation Water Management: TAWRP (Timer Automated Water Restriction Panel)<\/h1>\n

Project Overview<\/h2>\n

Most high elevation agricultural fields are irrigated using \u201cwild flooding\u201d not conducive to optimal water management.\u00a0 Several evaluation fields will be equipped with Long-Range Wide Area Networks (LoRaWAN) technology to improve irrigation scheduling and determine the changes in productivity, soil conditions, water use, water quality, labor allocations, and economic outcomes.\u00a0 Project partners are working with stakeholders in the Gunnison and Rio Grande River basins to improve irrigation practices on hay fields and pastures in Colorado\u2019s Gunnison and Rio Grande River basins using LoRaWAN technology.\u00a0 Broadly speaking, LoRaWAN is an Internet of Things (IoT) technology designed to require little bandwidth and use minimal battery power for months or even years.\u00a0 Used in agriculture, LoRaWAN couples environmental sensing devices (e.g., soil moisture probes, groundwater level loggers) remotely with base stations that act as gateways to determine the actions of field equipment (e.g, irrigation systems).\u00a0 The LoRaWAN system allows in-field conditions to trigger alerts back to gateways when the monitoring sensors detect the presence\/absence of water or soil moisture levels.\u00a0 Field sensors will be networked to a Timer Automated Water Restriction Panel (TAWRP), which is a newly designed form of irrigation equipment that has been invented for project.<\/p>\n
