Tadoba Tiger Reserve Pilots Sensor System to Manage Wildlife Waterholes
The Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve in Maharashtra has launched a pilot sensor-based system to manage water levels at wildlife waterholes. The system automatically controls pumps to prevent overflow and reduce water wastage, ensuring reliable availability for animals amid drought concerns. This first-of-its-kind initiative aims to limit groundwater extraction and reduce manual monitoring risks. The reserve has about 130 natural and 350 artificial waterholes, many powered by solar pumps, which previously ran continuously, causing overflow.
