DESIDS: An Integrated Decision Support System for the Planning, Analysis, Management and Rehabilitation of Pressurised Irrigation Distribution Systems
(MDPI, 2021)
Pressurized irrigation distribution systems (PIDSs) play a vital role in irrigation intensification, especially in the Mediterranean region. The design, operation and management of these systems can be complex, as they ...
Generating Hydrants’ Configurations for Efficient Analysis and Management of Pressurized Irrigation Distribution Systems
(MDPI, 2020)
Water scarcity is a mounting problem in arid and semi-arid regions such as the Mediterranean. Therefore, smarter and more effective water management is required, especially in irrigated agriculture. One of the most challenging ...
Energy Recovery Potential in Industrial and Municipal Wastewater Networks Using Micro-Hydropower in Spain
(MDPI, 2021)
The use of micro-hydropower (MHP) for energy recovery in water distribution networks is becoming increasingly widespread. The incorporation of this technology, which offers low-cost solutions, allows for the reduction of ...
Development of a Low-Cost Open-Source Platform for Smart Irrigation Systems
(MDPI, 2022)
Nowadays, smart irrigation is becoming an essential goal in agriculture, where water and energy are increasingly limited resources. Its importance will grow in the coming years in the agricultural sector where the optimal ...
Decision Support Tool for the Optimal Sizing of Solar Irrigation Systems
(MDPI, 2023)
Solar photovoltaic (PV) irrigation is increasingly used in agriculture, driven by its low operation cost and virtually zero emissions, providing electricity access in rural areas. However, the high investment cost requires ...
An economic and environmental optimization model for sizing a hybrid renewable energy and battery storage system in off-grid farms
(Elsevier, 2024)
This paper presents a model for optimizing the life cycle economic and environmental impacts of a hybrid renewable energy and battery storage system – as energy supply technologies (EST) for off-grid farms. Micro-hydropower ...
New memory-based hybrid model for middle-term water demand forecasting in irrigated areas
(Elsevier, 2023)
The energy demand and their associated costs in pressurized irrigation networks together with water scarcity are currently causing serious challenges for irrigation district’s (ID) managers. Additionally, most of the new ...
Spatio-temporal analysis of nitrogen variations in an irrigation distribution network using reclaimed water for irrigating olive trees
(Elsevier, 2022)
Fertigation management of olive grove is highly complex, especially when reclaimed water is used for irrigation. Nitrogen (N) is the main nutrient component of olive trees which, traditionally, has led to an excessive use ...
Attention is all water need: Multistep time series irrigation water demand forecasting in irrigation disctrics
(Elsevier, 2024)
Energy demand, energy cost and water scarcity are three of the main problems in the new Irrigation districts (ID) where the irrigation distribution networks are pressurized and frequently organized on-demand (water is ...
Defining the optimization strategy for solar energy use in large water distribution networks: A case study from the Valle Inferior irrigation system, Spain
(Elsevier, 2024)
Irrigation modernization in Spain has brought significantly increased energy requirements. To provide the needed power, solar energy is rising in popularity. However, matching the availability of solar energy to irrigation ...
