Farmers and engineers wanting a tool to design and evaluate their basin, border and furrow irrigation systems

About SURDEV

The SURDEV computer package was developed by the International Institute for Land Reclamation and Improvement (ILRI), Wageningen Environmental Research, and the Institute of Land and Water Management of the Catholic University of Leuven (ILWM), Belgium, in 2001. SURDEV consists of three software programs, BASDEV (for level basins), BORDEV (for sloping borders), and FURDEV (for graded furrows). Surface irrigation relies on gravity to spread water over the farmers’ fields. Following the pull of gravity, the water flows over the fields from one end to the other, infiltration into the soil as it goes. The most common surface irrigation techniques are level basins (with or without level furrows), sloping borders, and sloping furrows to distribute irrigation water. The purpose of all of these techniques is to supply water in the right quantity, at the right time, and in an even layer, to achieve a uniform crop stand and minimize water losses.

AWS IoT Analytics
AWS IoT Analytics
IoT data is highly unstructured which makes it difficult to analyze with traditional analytics and business intelligence tools that are designed to process structured data. IoT data comes from devices that often record fairly noisy processes (such as temperature, motion, or sound). The data from these devices can frequently have significant gaps, corrupted messages, and false readings that must be cleaned up before analysis can occur. Also, IoT data is often only meaningful in the context of additional, third party data inputs. For example, to help farmers determine when to water their crops, vineyard irrigation systems often enrich moisture sensor data with rainfall data from the vineyard, allowing for more efficient water usage while maximizing harvest yield. AWS IoT Analytics automates each of the difficult steps that are required to analyze data from IoT devices. AWS IoT Analytics is a fully managed and pay-as-you-go service that scales automatically.

HEADS Site
HEADS Site – Irrigation is CAD based software and HEADS Site has wide range of applications in irrigation projects design of canals, bunds, dykes, de-siltation dredging work. It can also measure volume of storage water in a reservoir at dam or barrage by recording rise or fall of water levels by using digital terrain model & contours generated by using downloaded ground elevation data obtained from shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM) by global mapper from the satellite, without any field survey work. The slope stability analysis provided by bishop's method. It handles various Survey data, DTM, triangulation, contour, satellite images, conversion from TM (Survey) to UTM (GPS) coordinates, communication with Google earth to plan for bypass and green field bypass alignments, use of ground elevation data by online downloading from shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM) from internet without any field topo survey, alignment geometric design.

IrriExpress
IrriExpress
IrriExpress lets you design irrigation projects with pivots, sprinklers and drip using a simple, intuitive, and powerful program. It lets you evaluate installation alternatives in advance, survey any terrain, produce a contour plan, draw the details, and apply the irrigation design. Easy to use and flexible interface. Full irrigation system design. Easy to analyze and validate designs. Digital terrain modeling and computer-aided drafting. There is no need to manually calculate coordinates, reduce survey field books, or do manual plotting of the proposed terrain. IrriExpress converts survey data into a computerized DTM format using up to 9,000 survey points to generate a triangular surface model. It can also generate contour plans with data imported from ASCII coordinates, DXF, DWG, and GPS files. IrriExpress reports problems that can arise based on inputted upper and lower limits for different types of slopes and/or angles.
