An international team of researchers from the University of Bergen and other leading institutions expose severe limitations in large-scale hydrological models that produce estimates for water ...

Stanford researchers developed a new tool to optimize irrigation systems to help farmers reduce their water usage. Daniel Tartakovsky, professor of energy science and engineering, and Weiyu Li Ph.D.

Water scarcity and the high cost of energy represent the main problems for irrigation communities, which manage water for this end, making it available to agriculture. In a context of drought, with a ...

Irrigated agriculture is the planet's largest consumer of freshwater and ultimately produces more than 40% of food worldwide. Yet the exact amounts of water actually being used in irrigation remains ...

Plantae, a start-up supported by the C3N-IA Science Park at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and specializing in precision agriculture, has developed new predictive models using artificial ...

Researchers at Cornell University in the U.S. have developed a novel optimization model for agrivoltaic site design and benefits, which was demonstrated using irrigation-optimization relative to ...

Farmers in the Semi-arid parts of Embu and adjacent counties are set to benefit from advanced irrigation technologies to produce food after the Israel government established an eight-acre model farm ...

Researchers from China's Northwest A&F University have developed a novel drip irrigation system powered by PV, which stores energy in the form of compressed air. The use of compressed air not only ...

An irrigation pivot is seen in a demonstration Thursday at a cornfield farmed by Rob Sladek in Conesville. Sladek can remotely turn the system on and off and irrigates about 10 percent of his crops.
