The Available Water Reservoir<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>

What if you could tell, at a glance, how much water your plants actually have available in the soil?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

With the Available Water Reservoir, Weenat converts your sensor data into a simple, easy-to-read and operational piece of information: the amount of water available for your crops, expressed in millimetres.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crops and soil types<\/h4>

The Available Water Reservoir is compatible with all irrigated crops and all soil types.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

Available in the Weenat app<\/h4>

For any plot equipped with Weenat Tensiometers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What is the Available Water Reservoir<\/span>?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

Irrigation is, above all, a matter of common sense: applying the right amount of water at the right time.<\/p>\n

But with the kPa readings from Tensiometers, interpreting the data can quickly become confusing, especially for those just starting out with irrigation management.<\/p>\n

That is why Weenat developed the Available Water Reservoir: a key irrigation management feature that converts your sensor data in real time into millimetres of available water in your soil.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

In practice?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f Your sensors measure soil moisture at the depth where they are installed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f Our model automatically characterises the water behaviour of your plot<\/strong> (field capacity, wilting point, water retention capacity) with no configuration required. You can of course refine the model by entering your soil texture.<\/p>\n

\u27a1\ufe0f Your sensor readings are converted into mm of water available for your plants<\/strong>, across the full depth covered by your sensors.<\/p>\n

You therefore obtain an estimate of your soil water content in mm, directly comparable to upcoming rainfall and evapotranspiration, allowing you to size your irrigation doses by simple addition.<\/p>\n

Immediate readout. No calculation. No guesswork.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How does the Available Water Reservoir<\/span> work?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1. Your sensors measure soil water<\/h3>

Tensiometers<\/strong> measure the binding force between water and soil (in kPa). As the soil dries out, this force increases: the plant has to work harder to extract water.<\/p>\n

But one question remains for the grower: is there enough water left in the soil for my crop?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

2. Our soil model converts the reading into mm<\/h3>

This is where the Available Water Reservoir changes the game.<\/p>\n

Using your sensor data and our technology<\/strong>, we calculate in real time the amount of usable water in your plot's reservoir based on your soil texture.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
