Leading technology player Ericsson demonstrated its Connected Aquaponics and Smart Water Grid Management IoT solutions on site in Mori village as part of a pilot being run by the Govt. Of Andhra Pradesh towards creating smart and sustainable villages in the state. Both the projects were demonstrated on site in the presence of Shri N. Chandra Babu Naidu, Hon’ble Chief Minister, Govt of Andhra Pradesh , following a three month pilot. Ericsson had earlier in the year signed an MoU with the Govt of Andhra Pradesh and UC Berkley to help improve lives of farmers in and around Mori.
Under the connected aquaponics system, sensors and actuators measure water quality, flow, and levels, and automatically distribute water depending on the needs of each farmer. This system can also help reduce problems during monsoon season and during flood events. Using LoRa and LPWAN connectivity, the actuators are used to automatically open and close the gates of the river flow system to distribute the water as per needs of the farmers. Such a system helps in better management in Flood like situations. This also helps in regulating the flow of sea water and prevents it from entering the fresh water system. Thus, water is used efficiently and the wastage is minimised. The entire operation is integrated into a centralised command and control system for efficient management at different levels – Panchayat, Taluk, District and State.
The result is higher farming yields while reducing costs through use of raw materials and recycled water at the natural Godavari basin.
