Conrad finds it easier to delegate the task of effluent to other staff members with confidence. The data is used for other decision making on farm and filling in weekly fact sheets for the University. Receiving the daily text summaries all information such as rainfall, soil moisture deficit, how much effluent you can irrigate and current pond level. this saves time in Conrad's day, without needing to log onto the website. 

For the farm supervisor, Byron Taylor, the website is an invaluable tool to allow him to see what is happening on a daily basis. The information from Re:Gen is used for both daily and forward planning related to the effluent system but also other decisions like crop planting.
