Impact of sensor placement in soil water estimation: A real-case study [PDF]
One of the essential elements in implementing a closed-loop irrigation system is soil moisture estimation based on a limited number of available sensors. One associated problem is the determination of the optimal locations to install the sensors such that good soil moisture estimation can be obtained.

Adaptive model reduction and state estimation of agro-hydrological systems [PDF]
Closed-loop irrigation can deliver a promising solution for precision irrigation. The accurate soil moisture (state) estimation is critical in implementing the closed-loop irrigation of agrohydrological systems. In general, the agricultural fields are high dimensional systems.

Predicting Playa Inundation Using a Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network [PDF]
In the Great Plains, playas are critical wetland habitats for migratory birds and a source of recharge for the agriculturally-important High Plains aquifer. The temporary wetlands exhibit complex hydrology, filling rapidly via local rain storms and then drying through evaporation and groundwater infiltration.

Invisible water, visible impact: How unsustainable groundwater use challenges sustainability of Indian agriculture under climate change [PDF]
India is one of the world’s largest food producers, making the sustainability of its agricultural system of global significance. Groundwater irrigation underpins India’s agriculture, currently boosting crop production by enough to feed 170 million people.

Hydrological processing of salinity and nitrate in the Salinas Valley agricultural watershed [PDF]
AbstractRegime shifts of major salinity constituents (Ca, Mg, Na, K, SO4, Cl, HCO3, and NO3) in the lower Salinas River, an agricultural ecosystem, can have major impacts on ecosystem services central to continued agricultural production in the region. Regime shifts are large, persistent, and often abrupt changes in the structure and dynamics of social-
