Systems, devices, and methods for management of schedules used with renewable-energy powered irrigation systems

Abstract

A tool for management of irrigation schedules is provided. The tool can include a controller that can communicate with an irrigation system to build and implement automatic irrigation schedules using sensed data about the environment, historical data, and manually input data. These schedules can be optimized for capital cost, lifetime cost, farm revenue, water use, and energy efficiency of the irrigation system. The schedule can be adjusted based on sensed data and/or manual inputs to ensure optimal use of resources. In some embodiments, the controller can communicate the schedule to a user via electronic communication to implement irrigation. In such embodiments, the user can interface with the controller to confirm directions to implement irrigation and receive additional directions.
