Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to root zone moisture estimation for vegetation cover using remote sensing. Conventionally, it is challenging to estimate root zone soil moisture using only satellite data. Moreover, estimation of soil moisture under vegetation cover based on bare surface soil moisture and vegetation parameters is not available. The disclosed method and system facilitate estimation of an ensemble of soil moisture under vegetation cover and root zone soil moisture using process based soil water balance for spatial estimation of root zone soil moisture. The system estimates bare surface soil moisture for different soil types/textures using the baseline bare surface model and soil properties derived from satellite data and in-situ sensors. The method further provides temporal spatially distributed soil moisture inputs to an intelligent irrigation management/information system which is very important to reduce and regulate water consumption.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for a controllable irrigation and environment monitoring system, devices, and applications, are described. The irrigation system may use a valve on each spray head which may allow each spray head of the irrigation system to be independently controlled. The spray radius and the water flow of each of the spray heads may be individually adjusted. The irrigation system may include sensors which provide feedback and the system may individually adjust each of the spray heads of the irrigation system and may adjust the watering schedule, water flow, and spray radius based on the sensor feedback. The irrigation system may be automated and self-managed and may adjust watering schedules according to an algorithm. The algorithm may use data collected by the system and also may use user-defined parameters such as local watering restrictions.
