Practical issues in developing a smart surface irrigation system with real-time simulation of furrow advance

Automation of surface irrigation can be an economic and ecological way of increasing global food production. In this work a fully automated cablegation system is evaluated that adapts the application time and depth to the actual infiltration rate of the soil in real-time. The system calculates the i...
