Isibonelelo se-$9 yezigidi esivela kwi-USDA sikhuthaze imizamo yokudala inethiwekhi yokujonga imozulu nomhlaba eWisconsin. Le nethiwekhi, ebizwa ngokuba yiMesonet, ithembisa ukunceda abalimi ngokuvala izikhewu kwidatha yomhlaba kunye nemozulu.
Inkxaso-mali ye-USDA iya kwi-UW-Madison ukuze kudalwe oko kubizwa ngokuba yiRural Wisconsin Partnership, ejolise ekudaleni iinkqubo zoluntu phakathi kweyunivesithi kunye needolophu zasemaphandleni.
Enye yeprojekthi enjalo iya kuba kukudala iWisconsin Environmental Mesonet. UChris Kucharik, usihlalo weSebe lezoLimo kwiYunivesithi yaseWisconsin-Madison, uthe uceba ukudala uthungelwano lwezikhululo zokujonga imozulu nomhlaba ezingama-50 ukuya kwi-120 kumaphondo kulo lonke ilizwe.
Ezi monitor ziquka iitripods zesinyithi, ezimalunga neenyawo ezintandathu ubude, ezinee-sensor ezilinganisa isantya somoya kunye necala, ukufuma, ubushushu kunye nemitha yelanga, utshilo. Ezi monitor ziquka nezixhobo ezingaphantsi komhlaba ezilinganisa ubushushu bomhlaba kunye nokufuma.
“IWisconsin yinto engaqhelekanga xa ithelekiswa nabamelwane bethu kunye namanye amazwe kweli lizwe malunga nokuba nenethiwekhi ezinikeleyo okanye inethiwekhi yokuqokelelwa kwedatha yokujonga,” utshilo uKucharik.
UKucharik uthe okwangoku kukho iimonitha ezili-14 kwizikhululo zophando lwezolimo zaseyunivesithi kwiindawo ezifana neDoor County peninsula, kwaye ezinye zeenkcukacha ezisetyenziswa ngabalimi ngoku zivela kuthungelwano lweSizwe lwezeMozulu lweNkonzo yeSizwe. Uthe idatha ibalulekile kodwa ixelwa kube kanye ngemini.
Isibonelelo sikarhulumente se-9 yezigidi zeerandi, kunye ne-1 yezigidi zeerandi ezivela kwi-Wisconsin Alumni Research Fund, siza kuhlawulela abasebenzi kunye nabasebenzi abafunekayo ukuze kudalwe, kuqokelelwe kwaye kusasazwe idatha yemozulu nomhlaba.
“Sijonge ngokwenene ukwakha uthungelwano oluxineneyo oluya kusinika ukufikelela kwidatha yamva nje yemozulu kunye nomhlaba ukuze kuxhaswe iindlela zokuphila zabalimi basemaphandleni, abaphathi bomhlaba namanzi, kunye nokwenza izigqibo ngamahlathi,” utshilo uKucharik. . “Kukho uluhlu olude lwabantu abaza kuxhamla kolu phuculo lothungelwano.”
UJerry Clark, utitshala wezolimo kwiZiko loLwandiso lweSithili saseChippewa kwiYunivesithi yaseWisconsin-Madison, uthe olu luhlu lwegridi oludibeneyo luya kunceda abalimi ukuba benze izigqibo ezibalulekileyo malunga nokutyala, ukunkcenkceshela kunye nokusetyenziswa kwezibulali-zinambuzane.
“Ndicinga ukuba ayincedi nje kuphela ngokwembono yemveliso yezityalo, kodwa ikwanceda nakwezinye izinto ezingalindelekanga ezifana nokuchumisa apho kunokuba neengenelo ezithile,” utshilo uClark.
Ngokukodwa, uClark uthe abalimi baya kuba nombono ongcono wokuba umhlaba wabo ugcwele kakhulu na ukuba ungamkela isichumiso esingamanzi, nto leyo enokunciphisa ungcoliseko lwamanzi aphumayo.
USteve Ackerman, isekela-tshansela le-UW–Madison lophando kunye nemfundo yabafundi abaphumeleleyo, ukhokele inkqubo yesicelo sesibonelelo se-USDA. USenator weDemocratic US uTammy Baldwin ubhengeze inkxaso-mali ngoDisemba 14.
“Ndicinga ukuba le yinzuzo enkulu kuphando kwikhampasi yethu kunye nengcamango yonke yaseWisconsin,” utshilo uAckerman.
U-Ackerman uthe iWisconsin isemva kwamaxesha, njengoko amanye amazwe ebenonxibelelwano olubanzi phakathi kwemimandla ukusukela ngeminyaka yoo-1990, kwaye "kuhle ukuba nalo eli thuba ngoku."
