Applied Research Note: Development of a novel low flow water monitoring system in poultry/agriculture systems
Summary: Water scarcity is a global reality and with the anticipated population growth, freshwater resources will be further strained to meet both human and agriculture applications. To ensure a water sustainable and food secure future, all aspects of agriculture must become more efficient. Two stra...
