Modelling and Management of Irrigation System

Irrigation is becoming an activity of precision where combining information collected from various sources is necessary to optimally manage resources. New management strategies such as big data techniques sensors artificial intelligence unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and new technologies in general are becoming more relevant every day. As such modeling techniques both at the water distribution network and the farm levels will be essential to gather information from various sources and offer useful recommendations for decision-making processes. In this book 10 high quality papers were selected that cover a wide range of issues that are relevant to the different aspects related to irrigation management: water source and distribution network plot irrigation systems and crop water management.
