Benefits of Smart Effluent Monitoring
-
Less Paperwork, More Farming
Automatically record effluent storage levels and application events.
-
Stay Compliant, Stay Trusted
Meet regulatory requirements and show industry partners you’re farming responsibly.
-
Turn Waste into Value
Apply effluent where it boosts pasture the most and cut back on fertiliser costs.
Why “She’ll Be Right” Is Asking For Trouble
-
Messy record keeping
Manual logs and fragmented records make it hard to prove good practice when regulators or auditors ask for evidence.
-
Risk of breaches
Late detection of storage issues (high levels or fast rises) increases the risk of breaches and emergency call-outs.
-
Compliance exposure
Boundary and exclusion-zone risks create compliance exposure without reliable, map-based proof.
-
Too slow to spot issues
Stalled or malfunctioning irrigators can waste time, energy, and opportunity if not flagged immediately.
-
No single source of truth
Hard to see the whole picture across ponds, tanks, irrigators, pumps and paddocks in one place.
-
Difficulties coordinating staff
Getting the right person to the right place with the right info is harder without a live view of the network.
Effluent Monitoring Made Easy

Effluent storage monitoring & alerts
- Track pond/tank/bladder fill levels and history to understand trends and capacity.
- Set thresholds and receive early-warning alerts on your phone if limits are approached or breached.

Automated tracking of effluent applications
- Record applications on most irrigators (centre pivots, travelling irrigators, etc.) capturing time, duration, volume, area, and depth applied.
- Exclusion-zone protection: get alerts - and trigger pump stop if enabled - when an application risks breaching boundaries.
- Stall detection: be notified if the pump is running but the irrigator has stalled.

Automated proof of placement
- Map every application and build an automated effluent log for audit and reporting.
- Attribute nutrients by paddock to support better pasture planning and fertiliser reductions.
- View application event logs, drill into single-event details, and see multi-month application maps at a glance.

Live system-wide insights
- Dashboard: see current storage levels, active spreads, time/duration/area/volume for each event.
- Storage details: review daily changes and long-term history for ponds, tanks and bladders.
- Effluent spread map: visualise where, when and how much has been applied; filter by paddock and timeframe.

Get Real-Time Alerts
Receive notifications for high-risk events like breaching an exclusion zone or a stalled irrigator at risk of pooling effluent.

Integrate Soil and Rainfall Data
Check rainfall, and monitor soil temperature and saturation at multiple depths, to prevent over application of effluent.
