Problem
Long-term, global trends are to have less water supply and more demand, leading to higher water stress, especially in agricultural countries.
Less water supply is caused mainly by climate change, with around a third of irrigated crops in areas with extremely high water stress. (see https://www.wri.org/aqueduct)
More water demand is caused mainly by population and economic growth, meaning that agriculture will need significantly more water to satisfy future food demand.
Solution
Seeing this opportunity and issues with current technologies, Capta Hydro developed a complete IoT solution for superficial water resource management, consisting of telemetry and automation equipment with innovative designs (patents) and proprietary software specifically developed for equipment and water management.
The solution is applicable to all superficial water users in a basin, including water source (such as dams and river management organizations ), water distribution organizations and water users (such as agribusiness, hydropower, industrial and sanitary).
The main characteristics of Capta Hydro equipment, “Capta CFT” for canal telemetry
and “Capta CFC” for floodgate automation are it’s:
- robust and anti-vandalism design, which maximizes its durability and long term return on investment,
- Adaptability to infrastructure, which reduce costs, ease installations and amortize past infrastructure investments
- Precision and reliability, from high reliability and precision sensors, plus designs which minimize problems in water with high sediment (significant advantage vs competition)
Our AMARU Software is a modern and easy to use multi platform SAAS and it’s main features are: flow and level monitoring, floodgate telecontrol, data analysis and automatic reporting
of main data variables, among others.
Customers have unlimited users, access to Apps for IoS/Android, constant 24/7 Support which includes remote monitoring of equipment to ensure that they are operating constantly.
Value Proposition
Specifically, our solution helps to:
1. Improve superficial water distribution and management. Specifical help ensure that the correct water flow rates and volumes reach each water user, by giving real-time visibility and control over the flowrate in each part of the distribution network and final delivery.
2. Improve superficial water distribution efficiency. Specifically by allowing to identify the location and amount of water losses between telemetry devices in a network, help determine its cause (filtration, theft, infrastructure failure) and aid decision making to reduce losses in the future.
3. Allow demand-based water delivery and generate water markets.
Currently, many superficial water distribution networks have “fixed” infrastructure that only allow “supply-based” distribution, or in other words, users get their allocation whether they need it or not, leading to inefficiency. By implementing widespread telemetry and automation technology, this infrastructure can be improved to allow “demand-based” distribution, thus allowing a more optimal assignment of water.
