Objective
Crop Et. estimates on a regional basis with a meteorological network system to help farmers to optimize the irrigation water. The information will be given by a central computer to the different users through a digitalized voice system.
An important water conservation is expected.
An irrigation management program with a meterological network system is proposed for irrigation scheduling in the Guadiana river basin by the Extremadura Region (western Spain).
The total irrigated surface area has increased considerably in the region for the last 20 years. Much of the land under irrigation is managed by farmers with no tradition of irrigated crops, having very poor application efficiencies. Because of this reason an irrigation management program is necessary to help farmers to save water.
A meteorological station network system is proposed for a regional real time irrigation scheduling to help farmers to better apply the irrigation water. The system should be of easy use by farmers by means of a simple touch tone phone call to get the information of water status and best time for irrigation on each particular farm. Beside met data, ancillary data should be taken (water volume content with a neutron probe, soil types, irrigation system and type of crops). All this data will be processed in a central processing office to facilitate the final information to the different farmers.
