Goals

  • reduce amount of water need to fully irrigate a crop field
  • react to changes in environment and its impact on moisture / hydration of the affected plants
  • provide high resolution data on irrigation needs and effectiveness.
  • record and share data for larger analysis

Assumptions

  • The hydration needs of a crop varies across its surface area, and across intervals of time in a way that can be further optimized by a well monitored and automated irrigation system.
  • The use of fine mist or fog is beneficial versus ground soak
