IoT Technologies for Irrigation Water Management (Part 2)
Dr. Yossi Osroosh, Precision Ag Engineer in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering at Washington State University, continues (see part 1) to discuss the strengths and limitations of IoT technologies for irrigation water management. LoRaWAN (a vendor-managed solution see part 1) is ideal for monitoring applications where sensors need to send data only a couple of times […]

IoT Technologies for Irrigation Water Management
Dr. Yossi Osroosh, Precision Ag Engineer in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering at Washington State University, discusses where and why IoT fits into irrigation water management. In addition, he explores possible price, range, power, and infrastructure road blocks. Studies show there is a potential for water savings of over 50% with sensor-based irrigation scheduling methods. Informed irrigation decisions […]

The Scientific Instrumentation Museum of Horrors
Chris Chambers is the primary technical support scientist at METER. Deep within the recesses of his office, there is a collection of scientific instrumentation we like to call the “Museum of Horrors”. It showcases the many instruments that have been mangled and destroyed over the years by insects, animals, or the environment. We get a […]
