System for Saving Water (SWFF)
Viet Nam
MimosaTEK is an internet-integrated system that helps farmers produce more food with less water. This is an example of an internet-connected system for precision irrigation that smallholder farmers can easily use to manage irrigation levels, saving both crops and water. The MimosaTEK system works by placing sensors in farmers’ greenhouses or fields, which measure environmental factors such as soil moisture, precipitation, air temperature, and wind speed. The sensors measure factors in real time and then recommends an irrigation schedule for the farmers. Farmers can read these recommendations through an app in their smartphones and plan their water use accordingly. MimosaTEK’s system offers quick, accurate information about the weather and soil conditions, along with tailored recommendations on the best irrigation schedules. As of July 2019, MimosaTEK has installed about 100 systems in Vietnam.
