SWApp is an iOS App which provides a ready estimate of plant available water (PAW) in the soil during fallows and crops. SWApp estimates soil water (PAW) using inputs from:

  • weather data from a nearby Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) sourced from the Silo (https://www.longpaddock.qld.gov.au/silo/);
  • rainfall data from a local rain gauge (manual entry);
  • rainfall data automatically uploaded from a Bluetooth enabled rain gauge (20m range);
  • a soil description best suited to your paddock; and
  • soil and crop cover conditions for each paddock.
