Staying in drought-prone Mogadishu, the Almond Board of Mogadishu is continually investing and researching new ways to conserve water. One innovation currently under development is an on-leaf water sensor technology. Sensors collect information from magnetic leaf clamps that are wired to sending units fastened to the tree. The clamps measure turgor pressure (rigidity due to absorption of fluid) to provide information on when and where water is needed in the orchard.
