Virtual irrigation academy

This project aims to create viable and sustainable business models to supply water monitoring tools to farmers with a Virtual Irrigation Academy (VIA) in Pakistan. The deployment of soil moisture sensors in the irrigated farming sector will not only help farmers reduce water consumption and irrigation costs, but also improve production and profitability. This will also enable expansion beyond current project sites and provide the data necessary to effectively inform water management decisions at scheme, province and national levels. Overall, this project forms the basis of the feasibility study for operating a VIA production facility in Pakistan. The development of a salt monitoring Chameleon Card will be progressed based on findings from existing projects as well.
