Case Study: Department of Natural Resources, Mines & Energy automates irrigation notifications with eagle.io

Department of Natural Resources, Mines & Energy - Customer Case Study

The Department of Natural Resources, Mines & Energy faced a challenge managing water entitlements in the Oakey Creek catchment. The previous system relied on water harvesters manually inspecting flows during rain events, which was time-consuming, led to missed opportunities, and made compliance difficult. The department needed an automated way to administer its new program based on data from five gauging stations.

Using eagle.io, the department built dashboards and configured automated SMS and email notifications for 41 water harvesters, triggered when specific flow rates were reached. eagle.io also developed a custom feature to simplify the landholder view. The solution significantly reduced the department's workload and eliminated the risk of landholders missing extraction opportunities. The department praised the user-friendly interface and looks forward to further integrating meter reporting through the eagle.io platform.
