WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A system for managing a water resource for irrigating a region is disclosed. An embodiment of the system includes plural soil moisture content sensors, a communications network and a system controller. Each soil moisture content sensor provides a sensed signal encoding moisture content information for a soil medium at a respective irrigated area of the region. The communications network communicates with the soil moisture content sensors to receive one or more of the sensed signals. The system controller is in communication with the communications network and processes the moisture content information encoded in one or more of the received sensed signals with other sensed information to provide, for one or more of the irrigated areas, a control output for controlling, or which is interpretable by a user to control, the demand for the water resource for irrigation.
