The Water Presence Sensor is a simple, reliable tool designed to help farmers track the arrival of water during flood irrigation. Placed in the field, it automatically detects when water reaches its location and can send alerts and log the event for later review. This makes it easy to monitor irrigation progress without constant field checks, saving time, reducing labor, and helping ensure even water distribution. Built for rugged agricultural conditions, the sensor is weather-resistant, easy to install, and ready to work season after season.

Field-Ready Performance

Field-Ready Performance

Engineered for demanding agricultural conditions, the Water Presence Sensor provides reliable, long-range data through LoRaWAN communication. Its waterproof IP68 construction protects it from dust, rain, and flooding, while an 8+ year battery life ensures dependable operation season after season. Installation is simple—drive a stake into the ground, mount the sensor, and it’s ready to work. A high-visibility orange flag and reflective tape makes locating the unit in the field quick and easy.

Water Presence Sensor Controls

Features

SAE Water uses wireless communications between a regional “gateway” and each device. The gateway is connected to the cloud to enable communications to any internet connected device. Users control the valves and Water Presence Sensors from a phone app or from a web app on a computer. Users can manually open and close the valves from the app or upload an irrigation schedule to the app for easy hands-free irrigation. Water Presence Sensors will work with the Valve to schedule the amount of time your surge irrigation should run including during droughts and rainy days. Saving you time and money!

Comprehensive Ecosystem

Comprehensive Ecosystem: Hegates Valves & Sensors

The Water Presence Sensor is part of SAE Water’s fully integrated irrigation ecosystem, working seamlessly with our Automated Headgates and Automated Valves. Together, these devices manage the entire irrigation process—from regulating flow through the Headgate, to precisely surge cycles with the Valves, to handling when water reaches the Water Presence Sensors. All data feeds into the SAE Water app, where real-time feedback powers fully automated scheduling and control. This closed-loop system ensures consistent water distribution, minimizes runoff, and maximizes water efficiency—without constant field checks or guesswork.
