The previous version required a farmer to develop a waterapplication map on a computer, upload that map to a thumb drive, and transfer it to the irrigation controller.
Experience in the international technical cooperation related to the application of hydrology and water resources planning to development would be an advantage.
Its polymer technology also carries the potential for other application markets, including water desalination, ultra-capacitors and energy generation, chemical and biohazard resistant fabrics, and immersion coatings.
Scottish Water would need to consult with bodies such as Sepa, the Fisheries Board and possibly Scottish Natural Heritage before any application could be made.
