It is the intention of this project to examine the Remote Sensing (RS) industry, in particular that which has relevance to the Western Cape and, more specifically, agriculture and precision agriculture.
The project team are investigating how irrigation water can be used optimally and are determining accompanying Best Management Practices.
The project is developing guidelines for the implementation of conservation farming practices to ensure sustainable resource utilisation.
This project involves the development and management of a comprehensive, inclusive information database containing all the relevant LRAD agricultural information in the Western Cape.
Cape metro and surrounding irrigated agricultural regions are under constant threat of water shortages.
All projects are funded from our central office at Elsenburg, following a prioritisation process.
The investigation includes considering different development options to utilise the water of the Doring River and to create farming and job opportunities.
This is a study to optimise the use of existing water resources and infrastructure.
