CONCERN OVER WATER WASTE PROVIDES NEW FLOOD IRRIGATION TOOL

Jacobson Remotics of Oakdale, California has announced the manufacture of an integrated flood irrigation control system available now on the market under the brand name Field Water Alarm™. The system of a 5 watt radio or cellular phone, has been developed over the past three years by Robert Jacobson of Oakdale. It nearly eliminates the need to continuously check when the irrigation gates, distribution valves or pots in a flood irrigated field need to be closed. This integrated system of detection and subsequent alert provides the irrigation farmer a way to decrease time wasted in the field, tells anyone the moment the water "comes in" and warns of the possibility of over or under irrigation. "These units will minimize the prospect of heavy fines as a result of violating the 'clean water act' or making other public water nuisances," said Bob Jacobson.

The Field Water Alarm™ consists of a detection "probe" that is placed into a row or check in any field where the water makes contact. Then it sends a signal through the 15 foot signal cord to the field control unit which is a self contained water tight case. The signals are then transmitted. The radio unit (120 Mw or 5 watt) sends a programmable pre recorded voice message to the farmer's base station or hand held radio receivers. The cellular unit dials up to 3 phone numbers in succession transmitting leaving the Field Water Alarm™ caller ID number and a text message "Alarm On". Then the farmer can take the necessary actions to reset the distribution of the water or pass the water to the next user or the ditch tender. "The Field Water Alarm™ is durable, portable and easy to setup," said Bob Jacobson of Jacobson Remotics. "It removes guessing about when your flood irrigation water reaches your set point."
