Irrigation Management Decision Support System – Canarys

Irrigation Management Decision Support System

Our innovative water management Decision Support System (DSS) is designed to optimize the efficiency of irrigation canal networks, ensuring timely and equitable distribution of water to users. This comprehensive system includes planning and analysis tools, DSS software, customized IoT measurement devices, renewable power systems, and associated communication devices.

Key Components of the Solution

Decision Support System Software: Ready-to-deploy for any project, our DSS solution facilitates:

Digitization

Effective Planning

Captures water demand and compares it with actual on-ground needs, allowing users to request consume water efficiently. It aggregates demand across the network to create an optimized release schedule for the entire cropping season.

Digitalization

Real-Time Monitoring

Tracks live water availability and measures releases in real-time via IoT devices, ensuring adherence to planned schedules.

Digital Transformation

Adaptive Management

Analyzes deviations from the plan, suggests corrective actions at various points in the network, and provides timely notifications to officials about necessary interventions.

Digitization

Regulatory Compliance

Sends updates and changes needed to maintain control over water releases, ensuring they align with regulatory plans.

Assess. Upgrade. Transform.

Features of Canarys Decision Support System Software

  • Forecasts seasonal water demands for agriculture and drinking, adjusting for expected rainfall to determine the net irrigation requirements.
  • Optimizes water rotation to match crop growth stages, enhancing water use efficiency.
  • Monitors rotation effectiveness and creates detailed, stage-wise crop water demand plans.
  • Aggregates water demand requests for streamlined decision-making.
  • Provides tools for capturing visual evidence and submitting grievances or maintenance requests via a mobile app.
  • Tracks the status of instrumentation assets and ongoing changes in water levels, aiding in flood management.
  • Stores essential basin reference data for automated management and display.
Digitalization

Benefits of Decision Support System

  • Enhances the ability of Water Resource Department (WRD) officials to manage water distribution equitably, preventing deficits in critical areas.
  • Strengthens community resilience and sustainability through advanced digital tools.
  • Provides early warnings for flood-prone areas via water-level sensors, enabling proactive flood management.
  • Facilitates real-time monitoring of groundwater salinity, which is crucial for reducing soil salinity and improving land cultivability over time.
  • Includes a five-year operation and maintenance period, after which control will transition to the WRD, ensuring long-term sustainability and effectiveness.
  • Empowers farmers and water managers to accurately capture and communicate field-level water supply and demand data through an intuitive mobile app, supporting audio, video, and image submissions. This real-time data serves as a reliable basis for decision-making, aligning closely with planned water distribution schedules.
