Installation of 12 Water Level Monitoring Systems
From February 24 to 27, we installed 12 water level monitoring systems at key locations, including six in paddy fields (one per irrigation rotation block), in the main canal, in the secondary canal, three (3) in the tertiary canals, and in the drainage canal. This system enables real-time sharing of water level data via through the cloud.
