with other cloud platforms. The pump station data collected can be shared, using an API protocol, with cloud-based irrigation scheduling controllers to allow more intelligent interactions. For example, if the pump station loses part of its pumping capacity due to a pump failure, that partial loss of capacity is shared with the irrigation scheduling, which responds by reducing the flow rate or prioritizing the schedule to ensure that critical areas are watered. Data collected on water usage and depth to
water in wells can be shared with irrigation districts to better manage seasonal water resources. Energy usage can be monitored and shared with power utilities to help shed load when power outages are imminent.
IMPROVING EFFICIENCY
A common phrase is “You can’t improve what you can’t measure.” This is particularly true for irrigation schedulers. Clearly there are constraints that determine irrigation schedules, but there is little feedback

regarding the efficiency of one schedule versus another. By collecting energy usage and determining the kilowatts per acre feet or kilowatts per gallon pumped, the schedulers can compare the efficiency of each irrigation cycle and make refinements to maximize efficiency (see fig. 2).
CONTROL IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
One of the many benefits of cloud telemetry is the ability to have instant access to equipment in the field from any web-enabled device. No matter where the operator is in the world, if there is an internet connection, they will be able to monitor and control the operation of their pumping stations from the cell phone they carry.
