Evaluating two irrigation controllers under subsurface drip irrigated tomato crop
Smart systems could be used to improve irrigation scheduling and save water under Saudi Arabia’s present water crisis scenario. This study investigated two types of evapotranspiration-based smart irrigation controllers, SmartLine and Hunter Pro-C2, as ...

A Structured Optimal Controller for Irrigation Networks
In this paper, we apply an optimal LQ controller, which has an inherent structure that allows for a distributed implementation, to an irrigation network. The network consists of a water reservoir and connected water canals. The goal is to keep the levels close to the set-points when farmers take out water.
