- Naiad Irrigation is a prototype that combines blockchain
technology, artificial intelligence, and data analysis to optimize
water consumption in agriculture, with a focus on irrigation
systems. - Based on scientific data in agriculture, hydrology, meteorology, and
soil science, the application will utilize Nature Inspired Algorithms
(NIA) to determine the water needs of various crops. Furthermore,
it will plan future irrigation dates and inform whether potential
plant water requirements have been met by precipitation based on
meteorological data. - The application aims to concentrate on identifying factors used for
irrigation to determine its effectiveness, ensuring even better
water utilization with minimal input. It also incorporates the use of
sensors to measure water pressure, volumetric soil water content,
and salinity to thoroughly monitor plant growth conditions and
ensure the highest level of control over the field.
