1. Benefits in Using Electromechanical Recorder :
    • Basic recorder unit works on pencell and no power is required for hardware and data transmission through dongle. Generally at irrigation network, power cannot be available. So system can be implemented anywhere even in remote places.
    • Basic system runs at minimum expenditure once in the year. Pencell has to replace and oiling/ greasing is required. In advance system of GSM modem technology replacement of solar battery, recharging of SIM etc. are additional expenses.
    • Accuracy of float system is scientifically accepted as 3 mm to 5 mm. so reliability in result generations is excellent and department can depend on it.
    • Automatic data generation and transmission will create administrative control on field staff, proper distribution of water in network as per the instruction of field officer, immediate action is possible if and when dispute creates.
    • Total transparency in work is possible by showing record to water user societies, beneferies and higher authorities. This will help for efficient running of distribution system with minimum dispute.
    • Bill generation will create financial discipline among revenue heads and beneficiaries and recovery can expedite more efficiently.
    • Advance concepts of water budgeting and auditing of water disbursement can start and lot of water can save especially in drought and disputed areas.
  2. Applications for Recorders :

    To save even drop of water, efficient distribution and counting has prime importance. In the irrigation network data recording shall start from the dam to keep record for available storage and then at controlling points. Recorders can install at baneberries like WUA, industry, public health departments or corporation for drinking water, lift irrigation schemes to get sufficient water with recorded data and billing system. Better transparency will help to run system efficiently with minimum disputes.
