Revolution in Agricultural Irrigation: Water and Budget Management with Esular Prepaid Smart Meters
Water is one of the most vital and costly inputs in agricultural production. Traditional irrigation methods and billing systems create many challenges for both farmers and irrigation unions: high and unexpected end-of-season bills, uncontrollable water waste, difficulties in collection processes, and increasing operational costs… Esular brings a radical solution to these problems with the Smart Prepaid Meter Systems it has developed for agricultural irrigation. Now, the worry of “how much did I use, how much will the bill be?” is coming to an end. Take full control of your irrigation budget with the “pay-as-you-go” model and use every drop of water efficiently.
What is the Agricultural Prepaid Meter System and How Does It Work?
This system, developed specifically for agriculture by Esular, is based on farmers and irrigation union members irrigating their fields by paying the water usage fee in advance. Thanks to durable smart cards or mobile NFC technology specifically defined for each meter, farmers can purchase the amount of water credit they need at any time. This system ensures financial sustainability by offering a 100% collection guarantee, especially for irrigation unions and cooperatives.Operation is Very Simple:
- Purchase Credit: Load water credit onto your smart card from the loading points determined by your irrigation union or via mobile solutions offered by Esular.
- Define to Your Meter: When you bring your card close to the meter in your field, the credit is transferred to your meter in seconds.
- Start Irrigating: Use as much water as your credit allows at any time. You can monitor your remaining water amount instantly on the meter's screen.
- Smart Control: When your credit runs out, the meter valve closes automatically, so you neither exceed your budget nor waste water. Thanks to the “backup credit” defined for emergencies, you will not experience any victimization.
- Security: Unauthorized interventions to the meters are detected immediately, the system takes itself under protection and closes the valve.
What are the Advantages for Farmers?
- End to Surprise Bills: Act by knowing what you will pay at the end of the season. Plan your irrigation costs in advance.
- Full Budget Control: Buy as much water as you need. Let your expenses be entirely under your control.
- Prevents Waste: Valves left open or leaks in pipelines can no longer damage your budget. This system encourages efficient water use.
- Fair Use: Everyone pays for the water they use. A fair water distribution is ensured in common usage areas.
Advantages for Irrigation Unions and Cooperatives
- 100% Collection Guarantee: Thanks to the advance payment model, collection problems and accumulated receivables are completely eliminated.
- Low Operational Cost: Costs requiring personnel and time, such as meter reading, bill distribution, and collection tracking, are zeroed out.
- Transparent and Modern Management: All consumption data is recorded digitally. Water management becomes more transparent and efficient with reporting and analysis tools.
- Loss-Leakage Detection: Abnormal water consumption and physical leaks in the system can be detected quickly thanks to instant data tracking.
