Farm Water Monitoring: Levels, Flow & Pump Status

Plan sensing, field power, communication and platform integration around the water decisions you need to make.

The field requirement

Measurements and equipment on site

See available water, changing level, flow or pressure and pump status across remote farm water points. Agree whether the project is monitoring only or includes a separately designed control scope.

Who handles each part?

SunGene handles equipment sourcing, farm system architecture and the agreed software or integration work. On-site construction and installation are carried out by local teams; we can help you find and coordinate a suitable partner.

Monitoring a water point or connecting existing equipment

I already have sensors or a controller

Review the installed equipment and its outputs. We can assess adding data collection or transmission before recommending replacements.

I need a first monitoring point

Define the water-level and pump-status information you need, then select measurement, power and communication options.

Tell us the country, roughly how many water points and what you want to know. Water depth, power, network and platform details can follow.

Discuss this water point

05Alerts & decisionsAgreed views, exports & workflows

Equipment and functions are selected for each project. Control work also requires agreed command authority, local protection and outage behaviour.

Level, flow, pressure and pump-status signals → logger or remote I/O → site network or cellular connection → shared data destination → agreed trends and alerts.

Choose the water signal, collector and data connection

Match the measurement and installed equipment to a complete data path. These are selection options; the quoted configuration defines the compatible interfaces and accessories.

Sensor → collector → receiving platform
Measurement and signal	Collector and connection	Receiving platform
One remote water-level point Select the level measurement for the liquid, depth and mounting. Level transmitter selection	Match the sensor output to a field logger or RTU, then review station power and cellular coverage. 4G RTU Battery / solar tank kit	Map level, units, point identity and original measurement time to your platform or an agreed data service.
Read an existing pump panel or water meter Identify the documented status, analogue or Modbus signals that the site team permits us to read. Pump-panel signal checks	Select matching remote I/O or RTU inputs. Confirm electrical isolation, signal ranges and the register map. Remote I/O Gateway / RTU kit	Bring pump status and water readings together. Agree missing-data alerts and who responds; local pump protection remains with the site control design.
Several water points using LoRaWAN Use compatible LoRaWAN sensors or a field node for wired sensors; include sensor power in the station load. Tank sensor and radio path	Confirm the field-node interface, regional radio plan, gateway coverage and IP backhaul. Outdoor LoRaWAN gateway Gateway and sensor kit	Gateway → network server → payload decoder → receiving application. Verify point identity, units, timestamps and missing readings at the destination.

Country, roughly how many water points and what you need to know are enough for a first inquiry. Interface, power, network and platform details can follow during selection.

Site & interface review

Check power, interfaces and installation conditions

Liquid, depth, pipework, mounting and access for maintenance
Pump-status signal, electrical interface and local protection
Grid or solar power based on the final station load
Network availability, outage storage and data backfill requirements

Working with what is already there

Review existing equipment for reuse.

Existing level transmitters, meters, pumps and control panels may be retained after reviewing signal types, documentation and connection authority. Monitoring can often be scoped around the existing control system.

Our project role

Equipment, data connections and operating documents

Site and water-point assessment

Sensor, logger, enclosure and power configuration

Platform mapping, device identity and alert scope

Functional checks, recovery tests and operating handover

Your proposal lists the selected equipment, software functions, checks, site responsibilities and support. Share your existing equipment and site conditions so we can define the configuration.
