Researchers combine weather forecasts, satellite soil moisture data, and a computer simulation for efficient irrigation water management at district and sub-district scales.
Irrigation
Researchers at IISc conducted a case study of the Koramangala Challaghatta (K&C) Valley project in Karnataka to show how mixing in traditional practices can improve water conservation.
Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) seem to have a technological solution to this problem. Led by Prof Maryam Shojaei Baghini, researchers from IIT Bombay and Gauhati University, have designed a robust, accurate and affordable soil moisture sensor using graphene oxide.
Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay propse a novel algorithm that can help solve problems involving systems with multiple components, such as irrigation canals.
