Digital Water Management for Campus Farms
Faculty of Engineering at Sriracha , Sriracha Campus
Details
The project aimed to create a digital water management system for demonstration farms within the campus. Sensors tracked soil moisture, flow rates, and reservoir water quality, feeding into an online platform accessible by farmers and students. Dashboards visualized real-time water usage, with alerts when consumption exceeded thresholds or abnormalities were detected in the system.
Beyond hardware, the team trained students and farmers to analyze water data, such as calculating Water Use Efficiency (WUE) and designing irrigation schedules based on actual conditions. Seasonal crop planning was also integrated to align irrigation with crop demand, ensuring water was used most effectively.
First-year results showed overall water use decreased by 18% compared to the three-year baseline, with sweet corn and lettuce yields meeting quality standards. Over 95 participants accessed and applied the data in real planning. The initiative aligns with SDG 6, SDG 9, and SDG 12, and fulfills 2024 indicators 34 and 96.
