Abstract: A water irrigation restriction violation system includes a geostationary satellite to collect soil surface moisture data and rain data throughout a given day for a geographic region. A processor and a memory coupled to the processor are configured to store water irrigation restrictions for governmental jurisdictions for the geographic region, receive the soil surface moisture data and rain data from the geostationary satellite, and determine a water irrigation restriction violation based upon the stored water irrigation restrictions and the received soil surface moisture data and rain data. A violation notification is then sent to a corresponding governmental jurisdiction for the determined water irrigation restriction violation.

Abstract: A network management system is for a network having network devices. The network management system includes a display, a memory, and a processor coupled to the display and memory and configured to send queries to the network devices, obtain responses from the network devices based upon the queries, and determine a physical network map for the network devices based upon the responses. The processor is also configured to establish connections with some of the network devices, determine a virtual network map for the network devices based upon the responses and the established connections, store mapping data related to the determined physical network map and virtual network map in the memory, and display an image on the display related to the stored mapping data.
