Smart Irrigation Project – GPPN students Conference 2018 November 5, 2018

 

Our project is initiated with the use of water resource data generated from remote sensing devices and technology. It aims at improving irrigation efficiency which in turns can reduce waste of water resource and can help to realize responsible and sustainable consumption of water. This is consistent with Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible Production & Consumption, achieving the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources.

The complete project consists of two important steps. First, areas with low irrigation efficiency have to be identified by monitoring and analyzing data of water use. This must be achieved by utilizing remote sensing technology. Second, modernizing water management, especially irrigation management, in target areas identified in the previous step. In this step, “Smart Irrigation Application” is going to be developed to further instruct famers on smart irrigation. Moreover, supplementary infrastructure will be constructed as an inadequate part of modern water management.

In order to convince stakeholders of this project, cost and benefit analysis will be carried out. Limitations in our project will be further introduced and dealt with.
