piss for certain is one of the most precious resources , not only because it ’s crucially of import but also because it can be rather scarce . That ’s why it ’s all-important for growers to understand how to use it more efficiently . On the one handwriting , this would boil down water consumption and thus operational price ; on the other hand , it would also make an irrigation system more effective and targeted .
To improve the grower ’ sympathy of the piss derive into the cultivation , Ottawa - based SanEcoTec has acquire the Water Health Index , a digital , piss - lineament management organization . It ’s a mobile app – called the WHI Platform – that identifies , solves , manages , prevents , and optimizes water issues in tangible - time . " agriculturalist on municipal water system may be surprised at the variation in the weewee record up at their door , " Jim Shubat , conscientious objector - father and technical lead at SanEcoTec .

Growers appreciate an app that mathematical function , captures , and records key performance indicator ( KPIs ) for their weewee . SanEcoTec offers cultivators a simple way to proactively engage with the water getting into their culture . “ Rather than waiting too long for lab results to return , you could simply get your water sample in the WHI Platform , and you ’ll get a quick , exact water psychoanalysis on your app . ” say Jim .
Microbiological activity in waterThe WHI app is not only for checking the microbiological natural action of give water but also to have a more nuanced reason of the water uptake throughout a cultivation installation .
“ We are always learning how people understand body of water , what they apprize about their water , and what they do n’t apprise , ” says Shubat . “ For example , we ’ve been verbalise with cannabis growers . Maybe , some of them are on a pool , or they entrance rain . Of course , that water system needs to be process before it gets into the cultivation , so they add an RO to that rain , which absolutely strips out anything nutritious that was there . essentially , that would leave you with water that has no alkalinity , no pH , and then you struggle to get dominance of that H2O back . ”

Bluntly put , Jim is specifically talking about the microbiological content of water system and how biologically active that water is . “ Or , for instance , if I ’m getting drain water , is there already an meter reading that there are some pathogens in there ? ” Contaminated or not up - to - standard urine can seriously compromise the bottom personal credit line of cultivation .
“ That contamination came from the water collected that same day . The matter is , by the meter you notice something might be faulty with your piss , it ’s already too late . On top of that , to know what ’s going on , you ’d postulate to compile a pee sampling and send that to a science laboratory that will do after a week at least . ” That ’s exactly where the WHI Platform and app come into looseness .
Uniform irrigationJust like there might be microclimates , there might also be parts of the nursery or indoor farm that do not get watered as much as other parts . “ Thanks to our solution , it can be quickly highlighted where is more need for irrigation or if the microbiological markers are not within the limits . ”
That ’s why SanEcoTec when visiting CEA facilities , carries out an literal water supply audit to sympathize not only the irrigation scheme but also where the water comes from , how it get into the polish , and how it ’s distributed . “ Our line of work is to cater every raiser with the right water so that they can flourish , disregarding of the crop they are growing . ”
