Abstract: An irrigation system is configured with a sprinkler module resting on at least two guide rails supported in a parallel arrangement by a plurality of legs, with the legs forming a rack used to provide a guideway for a sprinkler module along the guide rails, with the guide rails and cross supports arranged to form a plane. An adjustment is provided for positioning the plane of the guide rails and cross supports at tilt or angular adjustment of the plane to provide a selected alignment of the plane with a terrain location of the irrigation system. The sprinkler module is connectable to a water source capable of providing a water supply for discharge through the sprinkler modules; and at least one tracking wheel drive motor, such as a water powered drive motor or an electric motor, is provided for driving the sprinkler module along the guide rails.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an emitter that can properly exhibit a flow rate adjustment function even when produced by molding a resin material having low hardness. The emitter has an emitter body and a base part stored in the emitter body. The emitter body comprises a water intake part, a reduced-pressure flow path groove, a storage part, and a diaphragm part. The base part has a base, a communication hole, and a deformation prevention part that is disposed protruding from the reverse surface to the surface of the base which the diaphragm part deformed by the pressure of a drip irrigation liquid contacts, and when the diaphragm part contacts the base by the pressure of the drip irrigation liquid, contacts the tube to prevent the base from being deformed by the pressure of the drip irrigation liquid.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system for recycling and reusing water from sprinkler systems to water or irrigate a yard or an area of land. The system includes a water reclamation tank that stores water captured from beneath the area of land. When it is time to water the area of land, the sprinkler system draws water from the water reclamation tank. A portion of this water is then recaptured and supplied back to the water reclamation tank for further storage until the next time the sprinkler system is activated. This cyclical process occurs repeatedly and enables a significant reduction in the amount of freshly supplied water used to maintain the area of land.

Abstract: Provided herein are water and carbon dioxide harvesting systems, as well as methods using such systems, for capturing water and carbon dioxide from surrounding air. The systems and methods use water capture materials to adsorb water from the air and carbon dioxide capture materials to adsorb carbon dioxide from the air. For example, the water and carbon dioxide capture materials may be metal-organic-frameworks. The systems and methods desorb the water in the form of water vapor and the carbon dioxide. The water vapor is then condensed into liquid water. The water and carbon dioxide generated can be used in farming systems, including hydroponics and vertical farming systems.

Abstract: In an embodiment, yield data representing yields of crops that have been harvested from an agricultural field and field characteristics data representing characteristics of the agricultural field is received and used to determine a plurality of management zone delineation options. Each option, of the plurality of management zone delineation options, comprises zone layout data for an option. The plurality of management zone delineation options is determined by: determining a plurality of count values for a management class count; generating, for each count value, a management delineation option by clustering the yield data from and the field characteristics data, assigning zones to clusters, and including the zones in a management zone delineation option. One or more options from the plurality of management zone delineation options are selected and used to determine one or more planting plans. A graphical representation of the options and the planting plans is displayed for a user.
