Water
is a perennial concern and its scarcity
has a huge impact on food production. The
latest drought has exposed farming’s growing vulnerability to water
shortages, particularly where groundwater reserves are inadequate and
climate change is expected to make severe droughts more likely.
Without
water, farmers do not have a means of maintaining a prosperous
production cycle and providing for the increasing demand. The trouble
is that most farmers do not know how much water they have. Imagine if
there was a product that painted a better picture of how much water
was available to you...
Information
leads to better planning and better decisions.
Eno
Scientific's goal is to provide a simple method to obtaining vital
water information that expands the areas of Agriculture to increase
the amount of crops being produced. The Well Watch 670 water
level indicators are simple to install and non contact so there is no
risk to the well's quality and infrastructure. It is about turning well level measurements into useful data that can help
farmers/growers respond
to changing climates, markets and technological opportunities. You can use the data from smart water level meters to understand how much water
you have available in order to increase the number, efficiency and quality of
the crops grown.

Intelligence puts the power back in your hands.
- Understand water levels during peak usage, daily usage and seasonal changes.
- Make more informed decisions on how many acres to plant
- Plan for next growing season based upon historical water data
- Better water contingency planning
- Graph long term levels to understand the strength of your Aquifer
- Identify ahead of time if your wells need to be drilled deeper
- Share data with Water Professionals and Government agencies
- Use data to support unnecessary water restrictions
The
value of ground water is increasing; Agricultural use is a necessity.
Especially
in water-stressed areas, the primary strategy has been to impose
watering restrictions and conservation measures. New
groundwater legislation, local initiatives, and State mandates
provide opportunities to strengthen resource management and develop
equitable usage strategies. Groundwater level monitoring is key to
providing accurate data to support appropriate agricultural water
management motives. The goals are to supply water where it is needed
most without endangering the lifeline of American farmers.
