Objectives/Goals An enormous amount of real-time information that is available on the Internet can be accessed and used in traditional control systems to improve performance. The objective of this project is to design and build an autonomous control system that manages an irrigation system to save water using Internet-obtained weather forecasts and local-obtained rainwater level information. Me...

continuing agricultural expansion and urban development in saudi arabia, (located in an arid climate), together with an increased demands for more water supplies, calls for more efficient irrigation practices, and an increase in crop water productivity (cwp). throughout the present study, a deficit irrigation system was investigated for its impact on soil salinity, crop response factor (ky), cw...

the importance of groundwater as a source of water supply in arid, semi –arid areas in recent years due to the uncontrolled exploitation of groundwater have been doubled. uncontrolled exploitation has been caused a drop in the water table in many areas of the country, including this region. with replace methods of modern irrigation instead of traditional irrigation methods can prevent drop the ...

In the current human-influenced era, drought is initiated by natural and human drivers, and human activities are as integral to drought as meteorological factors. In large irrigated agricultural regions with high levels of human intervention, where the natural farmland soil moisture has usually been changed significantly by high-frequency irrigation, the actual severity of agricultural drought ...

BACKGROUND Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common progressive disease in aging men, which leads to a significant impact on daily lives of patients. Continuous bladder irrigation (CBI) is a supplementary option for preventing the adverse events following transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). Regulation of the flow rate based on the color of drainage bag is significant to prevent the ...

Spray irrigation is one of the effective techniques in saving water and increasing crop yield. Large-scale linear move spray irrigation systems are widely used in China. However, the traditional go-stop-go driving method causes difficulty in controlling the linear move irrigator. A new control method efficient in operation and the consumption of water, electricity, and labor is needed. Because ...
