67. Historical Data Repository

Environmental measurements acquire increasing engineering value over time.

A single observation provides only a snapshot of current conditions.

Thousands of observations collected over weeks, months and years reveal long-term trends, seasonal variations and responses to irrigation strategies.

The Cloud Platform therefore maintains a permanent historical repository.

Historical information supports:

  • trend analysis
  • performance evaluation
  • system calibration
  • comparative studies
  • predictive modelling
  • engineering research

Historical data should be preserved whenever practical, as future analytical techniques may extract knowledge that cannot yet be identified.
