A common challenge in rice farming:
Unclear Water Level Decisions

In many rice fields, irrigation decisions rely on visual checks and frequent field visits. Without clear water level information, farmers may pump too early or too late—wasting water, fuel or electricity, and reducing consistency in AWD practice.

ChalatTube provides accurate water level monitoring designed for rice paddies, helping farmers and programs follow AWD irrigation cycles more consistently while generating field-ready data for monitoring and reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions

ChalatTube is an IoT-based water level monitoring device that enables data-driven implementation of Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) in rice fields. It provides reliable field-level water depth data to support efficient irrigation management, research, and climate-smart agriculture programs.

Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) reduces irrigation water use, lowers methane emissions, and maintains or improves rice yields. This makes AWD a proven, scalable solution aligned with climate mitigation, water security, and sustainable food production goals.

ChalatTube continuously measures water depth and transmits data via low-power 2G or LoRa-based communication to a cloud platform. The data can be accessed by farmers, researchers, NGOs, and project managers for monitoring, reporting, and decision-making.

Yes. ChalatTube is solar-powered with built-in battery storage, enabling long-term, maintenance-light operation in remote rice fields without access to grid electricity.

ChalatTube is designed for agricultural research institutions, NGOs, development partners, irrigation projects, and government programs implementing AWD, water-saving initiatives, or climate-smart agriculture—particularly in collaboration with organizations such as IRRI, IFAD, and national agencies.
