Description
Designed for Confidence During Flood Irrigation
The Water Presence Sensor helps farmers know exactly when water reaches a specific point in the field. Instead of guessing or physically checking progress, the sensor provides clear, real-time confirmation through the SAE Water app.
This removes uncertainty and helps farmers make decisions with confidence.
How It Works in the Field
Once installed, the sensor detects when water arrives at its location and immediately reports back to the user.
That simple confirmation allows farmers to:
-
Shut off water at the right time
-
Move to the next set sooner
-
Adjust irrigation schedules without delay
The result is less wasted water, fewer missed timings, and more consistent water distribution across the field.
What Farmers Notice Most
Farmers consistently mention how quickly the sensor reports back once water arrives. Many are surprised by how reliable it is after installation and how much time and labor it saves.
Perhaps most important, it provides peace of mind. Knowing water made it to the end of the field removes the need for constant driving, walking, or second-guessing.
Works Alone or as Part of a Larger System
The Water Presence Sensor can be used as a standalone tool or integrated into SAE Water’s automated irrigation system.
When paired with Automated Headgates and Automated Valves, irrigation decisions are based on real field conditions rather than estimates. Together, these tools create a more complete and responsive irrigation process.
