2. Multi-module smart drainage management
approach
Our proposed simple smart drainage management approach to reuse drainage
water for fertigation through improved drainage control for overcoming
summer drought consists of three modules (Figure 1): (i)
meteorological forecasting, (ii)
hydrological simulation, and (iii) the practical implementation of
irrigation and drainage control using novel ICT-based sensor network
solutions. The implementation module has two parts: an automatic
drainage control regulating the amount of agricultural field water and
the reuse of drainage water for fertigation feeding back in an
automatically controlled manner into the drainage system.
