  • Patent number: 10455781
    Abstract: A method for controlling surface irrigation comprising: measuring in real time surface water depths and water stream advancing durations of each of measuring points in a first half of a target farmland block, and substituting them into a surface irrigation model, to obtain initial values of soil infiltration parameters, substituting the initial values into the surface irrigation model, to obtain analog values of surface water depths of each of measuring points having water before a preset measuring point when the water stream in the first half of the target farmland block has advanced to the preset measuring point, by using the objective function that average value of the errors of the measured values that are corresponding to it is minimum, reversely solving and optimizing the soil infiltration parameters, and substituting optimized soil infiltration parameters again into the surface irrigation model, and adjusting an irrigation duration according to the prediction result.

  • Patent number: 8065124
    Abstract: A method for irrigating terrain comprising the following steps: generating field surface relative elevation data set using Monte-Carlo simulation; adjusting the simulation data set to ensure it falls in a reasonable numerical range; adjusting the data set to establish certain spatial dependence using Kriging interpolation method; and making further statistical characteristics parameter modification to the data set, so that the final corrected field surface relative elevation data shares the same or similar statistics characteristics parameters as the initial simulation. The method factors in both the randomness and spatial dependence of the field relative elevation distribution, which brings the simulation result closer to the actual micro-topography.
