About:

At a pre-programmed interval, typically hourly, water located at the trailers inlet is passed through a conductivity meter and a spectrometer for analysis. A pressure depth sensor is situated near the inlet to provide water depth and temperature measurements which has a range of 0.2m – 20m water level. Data is then uploaded directly for viewing on the BBIFMAC website. Only relevant parties are able to gain access to this data.

The BBIFMAC team has many years of experience operating in the Burdekin floodplain and great relationships with the local agricultural community.
