Poor farmers need to access real-time information and they need to be
able to exchange and apply it. Smart ICT (e.g. cell-phones backed up by
the web) can play a fundamental role in the communication process for
flood events and can provide quick, real time information on how to best
manage flood water for agricultural production. So we decided to
connect information on flooding and agricultural water management with a
SMS service.
