New smart water system ensures fair distribution and efficient irrigation.
The article presents a smart water management approach for fair distribution of water in large irrigation systems. The researchers developed a model that considers each farm's water needs and negotiates water distribution based on factors like field size, crop type, and weather conditions. The model aims to prevent water waste and ensure that fields receive enough water to avoid stress on crops. By using this approach, the researchers found that they could satisfy the majority of farmers in the irrigation district while efficiently managing water resources.
