Irrigation door is a big issue for farmers. The factor that became a hot issue at the irrigation gate was the irresponsible attitude of the irrigation staff regarding the schedule of opening/closing the irrigation door so that it caused the rice fields to becoming dry or submerged. In this research, an automatic prototype system for irrigation system will be designed based on integrating several sensors, including water level sensors, soil moisture sensors, acidity sensors. This sensor output will be displayed on Android-based applications. The integration of communication between devices (Arduino Nano, Arduino Wemos and sensors supporting the irrigation system) is the working principle of this prototype. This device will control via an Android-based application to turn on / off the water pump, to open/close the irrigation door, check soil moisture, soil acidity in real time. The pump will automatically turn on based on the water level. This condition will be active if the water level is below 3cm above ground level. The output value will be displayed on the Android-based application screen and LCD screen. Based on the results of testing and analysis of the prototype that has been done in this research, the irrigation door will open automatically when the soil is dry. This condition occurs if the water level is less than 3 cm. The calibrated Output value, including acidity sensor, soil moisture sensor and water level sensor, will be sent to the server every 5 seconds and forwarded to an Android-based application as an output display.

Abstract   – he very rapid development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has an impact on all human activities today. The number of assistive media created by technology in agriculture has begun to emerge, apart from facilitating human work, the creation of these tools is considered to be able to shorten time and make harvests easier and faster. Many problems arise from farmers, especially in the problem of managing the waters for rice fields, one of which is when water does not flow from the springs, causing the rice fields to dry up and make rice and other plants die. The need for a technological innovation that functions as a water flow control system in rice field using a water level sensor that is applied with electronic programs and components, namely Arduino, is considered to be more effective, so that the irrigation system in paddy fields can be controlled and help solve the difficulties that occur.Keywords  : water Level Sensor, ArduinoAbstrak- Perkembangan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) yang sangat pesat memberikan pengaruh terhadap segala aktivitas manusia saat ini .

Japan is subjected to harsh weather conditions, with a high overall annual rainfall, a rainy season, and concentrated torrential rains during the typhoon season. Moreover, rivers in Japan generally have a steep gradient and are characteristically subjected to sudden rises of water level that cause flooding, or the falling of water level over a short period when the rain ends, causing the water shortage. Although dams have been constructed according to river basin characteristics to handle flooding and water usage issues, the number of favorable dam sites in Japan is rather small. Thus, extensive dam upgrading, aimed at strengthening the function of existing dams, has recently been carried out. In this report, examples of past dam upgrading projects as well as the status of dam upgrading are reviewed. In particular, the technological issues of dam heightening and additional installation of discharge facilities are discussed for upgrading projects in which structural retrofitting is carried out while the dam is in operation. Moreover, the required measures are considered.

This study presents the development of an Early Warning System (EWS) called EPIGONE focusing on the detection of dry weather overflows in the vicinity of throttle structures in sewer systems. Throttle structures are considered as vital parts of a sewer system as they are control sections limiting flow rates to a designed operational value. Because these structures are by definition prone to potential clogging or blockages, a close follow-up of the daily operation by an EWS facilitates increased vigilance or even alarm. Primary goal of EPIGONE is to alert operators and thus allow fast intervention in case of suspected failures of these structures within a settled timeframe. EPIGONE combines overflow water level measurements with rainfall radar information to determine Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) activity during dry weather as this dual condition will indicate malfunctioning. This combination of measurements was found to be the most cost effective set-up to deploy on a large scale. Water level data are recorded and logged on-site and sent to a central controller via GSM/GPRS, where an algorithm determines dry weather overflow conditions. Rainfall radar data are used as criterion to decide on dry weather conditions. From there on alarms are sent out to multiple recipients via e-mail and/or text messages (SMS). Next to this, it is obvious that this system can also be used for ‘regular’ wet weather CSO monitoring.

Abstract. Future climate scenarios for the Mediterranean region indicate a possible decrease in annual precipitation associated with an intensification of extreme rainfall events in the coming years. A major challenge in this region is to evaluate the impacts of changing precipitation patterns on extreme hydrological events such as droughts and floods. For this, it is important to understand the impact of climate change on soil moisture since it is a proxy for agricultural droughts and the antecedent soil moisture condition plays a key role on runoff generation. This study focuses on 10 sites, located in Southern France, with available soil moisture, temperature, and precipitation observations on a 10 year time period. Soil moisture is simulated at each site at the hourly time step using a model of soil water content. The sensitivity of the simulated soil moisture to different changes in precipitation and temperature is evaluated by simulating the soil moisture response to temperature and precipitation scenarios generated using a delta change method for temperature and a stochastic model (Neyman-Scott rectangular pulse model) for precipitation. Results show that soil moisture is more impacted by changes in precipitation intermittence than precipitation intensity and temperature. Overall, increased temperature and precipitation intensity associated with more intermittent precipitation leads to decreased soil moisture and an increase in the annual number of days with dry soil moisture conditions. In particular, a temperature increase of +4 °C combined with a decrease of annual rainfall between 10 and 20 %, corresponding to the current available climate scenarios for the Mediterranean, lead to a lengthening of the drought period from June to October 15 with in average +22 days of soil moisture drought per year.

AbstractErosion rates of wind turbine blades are not constant, and they depend on many external factors including meteorological differences relating to global weather patterns. In order to track the degradation of the turbine blades, it is important to analyse the distribution and change in weather conditions across the country. This case study addresses rainfall in Western Europe using the UK and Ireland data to create a relationship between the erosion rate of wind turbine blades and rainfall for both countries. In order to match the appropriate erosion data to the meteorological data, 2 months of the annual rainfall were chosen, and the differences were analysed. The month of highest rain, January and month of least rain, May were selected for the study. The two variables were then combined with other data including hailstorm events and locations of wind turbine farms to create a general overview of erosion with relation to wind turbine blades.
