Abstract
An irrigation system includes at least one sensor configured to acquire data regarding a water saturation level of an area of soil, a sprinkler configured to provide water to the area of soil, and a control system. The control system is configured to acquire the data from the at least one sensor and adjust a watering scheme of the sprinkler based on the data to provide a desired water saturation level to the area of soil.
Claims20
An irrigation system comprising:
- at least one sensor configured to acquire data regarding a water saturation level of an area of soil;
- a sprinkler configured to provide water to the area of soil;
- and
- a control system configured to:
- acquire the data from the at least one sensor;
- and
- adjust a watering scheme of the sprinkler based on the data to provide a desired water saturation level to the area of soil.
4 more elements
An irrigation system comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- acquire first data regarding a water saturation level of an area of soil from at least one sensor;
- control sprinklers based on the first data to provide a first desired water saturation level to the area of soil;
- acquire second data regarding the water saturation level of the area of soil from the at least one sensor;
- and
- adjust a watering scheme of the sprinklers based on the comparison.
3 more elements
An irrigation system comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- acquire a plurality of first signals regarding first water saturation values corresponding to a plurality of areas;
- generate at least one first command based on the first water saturation values;
- transmit the at least one first command to at least one sprinkler;
- acquire a plurality of second signals regarding second water saturation values corresponding to the plurality of areas;
- compare the second water saturation values to the first water saturation values;
- generate at least one second command based on the comparison;
- transmit the at least one second command to the at least one sprinkler;
- and
- dynamically generate a graphical user interface based on the first water saturation values and the second water saturation values.
