Water level monitoring is crucial for efficient farm operations. Whether it's overhead tanks, borewells, or storage reservoirs, knowing water levels helps prevent wastage and ensures continuous supply.
Types of Water Level Sensors
There are several types of water level sensors suitable for agricultural applications, including ultrasonic, capacitive, and float-based sensors. Each has its advantages depending on the application.
Key Applications
- Overhead tank monitoring to prevent overflow
- Borewell water level tracking
- Storage tank management
- Automatic pump control based on tank levels
- Water usage monitoring and reporting
Integration with Pump Controllers
When connected to IoT pump controllers, water level sensors can automatically start pumps when tanks are low and stop them when full, preventing overflow and dry running.
Remote Alerts
Receive instant notifications on your smartphone when water levels are low, tanks are full, or any abnormal conditions are detected.
Cost-Benefit Analysis
The investment in water level sensors typically pays for itself within 6-12 months through water savings, prevented overflow wastage, and reduced pump maintenance costs.
