Testing and Evaluation of a Smart Irrigation System Towards Smart Landscaping in UAE

The population is growing drastically causing an increase in urban development and landscape expansion, which as a result increase the demand for water. In the GCC region, water is becoming a threat to the impact of climate change and the lack of water resources. The main source of water is mostly d...

description The population is growing drastically causing an increase in urban development and landscape expansion, which as a result increase the demand for water. In the GCC region, water is becoming a threat to the impact of climate change and the lack of water resources. The main source of water is mostly desalination plants. Current irrigation systems are not suited to solve the issues of water in the near future. This study is an evaluation of the impact of innovative technology, especially the use of the Internet of things (IoT) on the performance of a typical irrigation system currently used in Dubai, UAE. A field experiment was conducted to measure the selected parameter: Water consumption and irrigation management. This means a profound measurement on the impact of integrating soil moisture sensor into the current irrigation system is evaluated to assess the impact this integration. The core methodology used in this research was the field experiment; statistical analysis was also required to validate the results obtained on site. The results observed from the experiment were that the use of smart irrigation system (SIS) has environmental advantages in the long term especially in terms of water consumption and irrigation management. Less water is required to irrigate when the soil is saturated enough causing a healthier plants growth. The outcomes of the use of SMS have shown better results in water conservation, 21%, and 26% decrease in water consumption for the months of September and October, respectively.
