2025 USE CASE Sustainable Paddy Farming with LoRaWAN ® : AWD Solutions for Efficient Water Management and Emission Reduction Paddy farming faces critical challenges such as excessive water usage, inefficient irrigation methods, and the resulting environmental impacts, including methane emissions. Advanced technologies like Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) solutions utilizing LoRaWAN are paving the way for sustainable water management, reducing emissions, and increasing productivity in paddy cultivation. RESULT The deployment of EnthuTech's paddyAkvo ® system in paddy fields has delivered significant results: • Reduced Water Usage: Lowered water consumption by 10–20% through optimized AWD irrigation. • Lower Methane Emissions: Decreased methane production by 20–25%, contributing to a greener environment. • Improved Yield: Boosted paddy production by maintaining optimal growth conditions. • Sustainable Practices: Aligned with eco-friendly farming methods, ensuring long-term resource conservation and productivity. SITUATION Paddy farming heavily relies on traditional continuous flooding practices, causing significant water wastage and methane emissions. Farmers struggle to balance water usage with optimal crop growth while addressing environmental concerns. Efficient irrigation methods like Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD), supported by LoRaWAN, are essential for improving productivity and sustainability. ISSUE • Excessive Water Usage: Continuous flooding depletes water resources and increases methane emissions. • Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Anaerobic conditions in flooded fields lead to higher methane production, contributing to climate change. • Inefficient Irrigation Practices: Manual water management leads to over-irrigation or drought stress, impacting yields. SOLUTION EnthuTech's paddyAkvo ® system, offers a comprehensive solution for sustainable paddy farming: • Real-Time Water Monitoring: IoT sensors measure water levels in paddy fields, providing actionable data for optimized irrigation schedules. • Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD): Automated systems enable controlled irrigation cycles, alternating between wet and dry conditions to reduce water usage and methane emissions. • Remote Access: LoRaWAN gateways transmit real- time data to cloud platforms, allowing farmers to monitor and manage water levels from anywhere. • Battery-Powered Devices: Energy-efficient sensors ensure uninterrupted performance, even in remote areas with limited infrastructure. • Sustainability Integration: By controlling water levels, the system promotes healthier crops while aligning with global sustainability goals to reduce emissions. ® Agriculture Sustainability Solution COMPANY CONTACT INFO Enthu Technology Solutions India Pvt.
