The challenge

Inefficiency and lack of visibility in distribution, together with increasingly variable flows, have diminished the security of surface water for irrigation for many agricultural producers. Fortunately, many of these challenges can be solved with our solutions.

Solutions applied

The case of the AgriCile project

Problem


AgriChile found that its energy costs were steadily increasing,
mainly due to a greater dependence on groundwater sources compared to surface water, which had decreased considerably in recent seasons.

Inefficient Distribution

Although part of the decrease was explainable by the drought, after an analysis he concluded that a significant part was only explainable by the drought.
The company was also affected by the great distribution inefficiency of the canal association of which it is a member.

Data requirements

However, it did not have “hard” data to monitor and rectify the above, so it contacted Capta Hydro for a project to fully control its water sources and solve this problem.

Telemetry for surface water

CAPTA CFT
Constant monitoring of the flow and volume received from the canal, along with alerts to detect reductions, allowed AgriChile to better enforce its water rights with the OUA.

Telemetry for wells

CAPTA LFT
The constant monitoring of the flow rate and the monitoring of the volume extracted from wells - supplemented by surface water - allowed AgriChile to reduce the consumption of this water source, thus saving costs.
In addition, it was able to comply with DGA regulations.

Software platform

CAPTA AMARU
The use of Amaru, a software platform that centralizes data, allowed AgriChile to manage its water sources, optimizing its surface water sources to save energy costs.
