Abstract: An Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) method/system for irrigating a field using a pump comprising an outlet supplying water to the field and an inlet connected to a water source is disclosed. The method/system comprises a sensor placed at a location in the field for sensing a water depth below a surface of the field and transmitting the water depth to a controller located remotely from the sensing location using a wireless connection. The controller enables the pump when the sensed water depth is below a threshold depth and disables the pump when the sensed water depth is above a threshold depth.

Abstract: A system and method for optimal allocation of agricultural water based on water consumption control are provided. The system includes a data management module, configured to store and manage data related to water allocation; a basic data statistics module, configured to take statistics on various stored data; an agricultural evapotranspiration (ET) calculation module, configured to calculate an agricultural ET based on the stored data and statistical data; and a water resource allocation module, configured to generate a corresponding water resource allocation scheme based on an agricultural ET of each water consumption unit and corresponding data. Surface water and groundwater are jointly allocated to reduce groundwater exploitation, increase groundwater recharge, reduce invalid water loss and consumption in a carrying and allocation process, and improve an output benefit of agricultural water supply. This provides technical support for realization of agricultural target ETs in different hydrologic years and sustainable utilization of water resources.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to irrigation systems. More particularly, but not exclusively, the present disclosure relates to individually controlling operation or functionality of one or more irrigation heads in an irrigation system that includes a number of irrigation heads. In one form, an irrigation system includes a number of irrigation heads and at least a first irrigation head of the number of irrigation heads includes a wireless transceiver. The system also includes a program module configured to wirelessly connect with the wireless transceiver of the first irrigation head. At least one operational aspect of the first irrigation head is controllable by the program module independent of the other irrigation heads of the number of irrigation heads.

Abstract: A sprinkler includes a compartment that surrounds its riser portion in an offset or asymmetrical configuration. More specifically, the distance of the compartments walls from those of the riser vary (i.e., increase or decrease) at different locations surrounding the riser. Put another way, the riser is closer to one side of the compartment than other sides of the compartment. This non-concentric configuration allows larger components to fit inside the compartment than would otherwise fit if the riser was symmetrically surrounded by the compartment.

Abstract: Embodiments for crop-specific automated irrigation of an environmental medium and management of nutrients therein. In one aspect, operation of an irrigation apparatus can be regulated according to specific water demand of a crop. The water demand can be assessed by evaluating water content conditions of the environmental medium comprising the crop, medium characteristics, and/or nutrient delivery and transport characteristics at the medium. Regulation of operation of the irrigation apparatus can comprise control of one or more of water supply to the apparatus, positioning and/or movement of the irrigation apparatus, or configuration of sensing devices for collection of information suitable for such regulation.
