Abstract
A system and process for low flow water monitoring in agriculture that measures water consumption at an individual bird/animal/plant level by weighing water in a controlled sealed environment. The system and process include a pressure regulation device fluidly connected to one or more reservoir tanks filled with water. The pressure regulation device is adjustable allowing for different output pressures suitable for many different agriculture applications.
Claims20
A system for low water monitoring in agriculture, the system comprising:
- a pressure regulation device removably connected to and in fluid communication with one or more water reservoir tanks, the pressure regulation device configured to supply air pressure to the reservoir tanks;
- one or more water nipple assemblies removably connected to and respectively in fluid communication with the reservoir tanks;
- and
- a computer processor in communication with the pressure regulation device, the computer processor comprising a controller configured to selectively adjust the air pressure supplied to the reservoir tanks in order to adjust water output volumes from the water nipple assemblies,
- wherein the system for low flow water monitoring is an individual bird cage low flow water monitoring system.
