Agricultural Runoff
Josh Spires | 14 March, 2023 | Use Cases
Agricultural runoff is highly regulated, and if not sampled often can result in massive amounts of damage to the surrounding environment. Nero's water samplers come in.
Maintain compliance and sampling frequency
Nero can be setup within minutes and collect up to four samples from various sampling locations. This fast response allows for an increase in sampling frequency across farms and ensure compliance is maintained.
Increased sampling coverage
Larger areas of land can be monitored and sampled from with Nero Poli. Nero has a multi-kilometre range allowing water sampling technicians to quickly deploy the system from a single location.
Quick reaction time
An added benefit of Nero's fast setup and operational time, incidents can be responded to at a much faster rate than traditional sampling methods. Multiple locations can be sampled in a number of minutes, allowing for improved containment efforts
Zero need for infrastructure
As Nero is a drone-based water sampler there is zero need to build infrastructure to support its use on farmland. This keeps sampling costs down, allows sampling to be agile as required, and leaves more space for farming activities.
Other benefits of using Nero
- Easily collect temperature data – Nero Poli's built-in temperature sensor allows the temperature to be collected and monitored over time.
- Human factor is removed – Nero removes the need for personnel to physically collect samples, improving safety and decreasing sampling costs.
- Environmentally friendly – Nero is a drone-based water sampler, meaning a boat is no longer required for sampling, therefore reducing the pollution going into the waterway.
