Vinduino: An Open-Source, Affordable Water-Saving Technology (.PDF Download)

April 11, 2017

Approximately 70% of the world’s available drinking water is used by agriculture. Therefore, it makes total sense to consider technology options for optimizing agricultural water use.

Irrigation-management technologies have been around for some time, but only as proprietary systems, meaning that a farmer using such a system is locked into his supplier. Usually this means high cost, recurring fees, and use of older technology, since there’s no incentive for the supplier to innovate...
