Groundwater is an important water source in Australia for a wide range of purposes, including agricultural irrigation practices which account for just over half of all groundwater used by Australians
For optimal operations across current and future farms, we have taken advantage of a new kind of GPS tagging that allows us to remotely track and trace our cattle over long distances, even in remote areas without mobile coverage.
Monitoring water points across our properties is a very time and resource-intensive task. Sometimes if a water point fails, it can mean that other land management or animal-focused projects can slip in priority.
