Title: | Editorial—Managing and Planning Water Resources for Irrigation: Smart-Irrigation Systems for Providing Sustainable Agriculture and Maintaining Ecosystem Services | Authors: | Masseroni, Daniele Arbat, Gerard Lima, Isabel Pedroso de |
Keywords: | smart-irrigation practices; soil health; open-source and low-cost monitoring devices; automatic and remote-controlled systems for irrigation; agro-hydrological models; evapotranspiration models and measurements; irrigation with marginal water | Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | MDPI | Serial title, monograph or event: | Water (Switzerland) | Volume: | 12 | Issue: | 1 | Abstract: | Smart-irrigation systems are a hot topic in irrigation management. Satellite imaging, sensors and controls, communication technologies and irrigation decision models are readily available. The price of the required technology is being reduced year after year, and its implementation in agriculture gives real-time information that allows for more accurate management of water resources. Even so, the adaptation of existing technologies to particular situations that the irrigation management is facing in di erent agro-environmental contexts is needed. This Special Issue addresses the application of di erent smart-irrigation technologies in four di erent research areas: (1) remote sensing-based estimates of crop evapotranspiration, (2) Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for smart-irrigation, (3) precision irrigation models and controls, and (4) the price of natural resources. The nine papers presented in this special issue cover a wide range of practical applications, and this editorial summarizes each of them. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/106768 | ISSN: | 2073-4441 | DOI: | 10.3390/w12010263 | Rights: | openAccess |
