Water is the most important nutrient for livestock and ensuring a continuous supply can be costly and time consuming. Failed water delivery systems have resulted in livestock deaths. Game cameras, pressure transducers, and automatic meter reading systems that connect either by cellular networks or satellite can be used to remotely monitor water. Although costs vary among systems, the user’s comfort level with using technology and the characteristics of each remote water monitoring system are more important considerations. The peace of mind of knowing that livestock have water is equally important to economic and labor savings provided by these systems
