Landscape channeling using an autonomous robotic soil dredger

A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory tangible storage device having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a processor of a computer to perform a method, the method comprising:

• deriving one or more landscape metrics, wherein the one or more landscape metrics comprise soil metrics, environmental conditions, and vegetation water consumption metrics;
• generating a digital twin of proposed trench and ridge metrics based on the derived one or more landscape metrics, wherein the proposed trench and ridge metrics comprise a depth of the trench, a distance between one or more trenches, a stream size, a slope of the trench, and a shape of the trench;
• measuring soil moisture content and soil absorption rate for the proposed trench and ridge metrics using sensor-based smart controllers, wherein the one or more trenches are outfitted with the sensor-based smart controllers;
• determining a trench pattern based on the generated digital twin of the proposed trench and ridge metrics;
• and collaborating with the autonomous robotic soil dredger to generate the trench pattern.

A computer system, comprising:

• one or more computer devices each having one or more processors and one or more tangible storage devices;
• and a program embodied on at least one of the one or more storage devices, the program having a plurality of program instructions for execution by the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising instructions for:
• deriving one or more landscape metrics, wherein the one or more landscape metrics comprise soil metrics, environmental conditions, and vegetation water consumption metrics;
• generating a digital twin of proposed trench and ridge metrics based on the derived one or more landscape metrics, wherein the proposed trench and ridge metrics comprise a depth of the trench, a distance between one or more trenches, a stream size, a slope of the trench, and a shape of the trench;
• measuring soil moisture content and soil absorption rate for the proposed trench and ridge metrics using sensor-based smart controllers, wherein the one or more trenches are outfitted with the sensor-based smart controllers;
• determining a trench pattern based on the generated digital twin of the proposed trench and ridge metrics;
• and collaborating with the autonomous robotic soil dredger to generate the trench pattern.
