Facing the dual challenges of global water shortage and climate change, traditional timed irrigation is being replaced by data-driven precision irrigation. The HONDE intelligent irrigation system, which integrates weather prediction and real-time soil moisture monitoring, is demonstrating outstanding water resource optimization capabilities in countries with different climate zones and redefining agricultural water use efficiency.
California, USA: The \”Water Resource Manager\” of Smart Farms
In large farms in the Central Valley of California, the HONDE system has established a complete monitoring network. Underground multi-layer soil sensors continuously monitor the moisture content changes in the root activity area, while the field meteorological station collects real-time data on temperature, humidity, wind speed and evaporation.
The system combines soil data with meteorological conditions through a cloud-based algorithm model. It not only irrigates based on the current water requirement of crops but also intelligently adjusts the irrigation plan according to the weather forecast for the next 48 hours – reducing the amount of irrigation before expected rainfall and moderately increasing the water supply before the arrival of dry and hot winds. This system has helped the farm increase the efficiency of irrigation water by 30% while maintaining production.
Israel: The \”Microclimate Commander\” of Desert Agriculture
In the drip irrigation farms of the Negev Desert, the HONDE system has achieved even more precise control. The system monitors the changes in soil electrical conductivity and adjusts the water and fertilizer ratio in real time to prevent the accumulation of salt around the root system.
Meanwhile, the integrated solar radiation sensor and anemometer data enable the system to precisely calculate the transpiration rate of crops and dynamically adjust the drip irrigation flow rate for each crop. In an extremely water-scarce environment, this system has increased the agricultural output value per cubic meter of water by an astonishing 50%.
India: The \”Drought and Flood Guardian\” of Monsoon Agriculture
In the rice-growing areas of Punjab, the HONDE system has taken on the responsibility of dealing with extreme weather. During the monsoon season, the system can drain the field ditches in advance before the arrival of heavy rain by monitoring soil saturation in real time and analyzing rainfall prediction data, preventing waterlogging.
During the monsoon break, supplementary irrigation should be initiated in a timely manner based on the downward trend of soil moisture content. This data-based precise water management has helped farmers ensure their grain harvest in the unstable monsoon climate.
Spain: The \”Frost Warning Line\” in Olive Groves
In the olive groves of Andalusia, the HONDE system has established a unique disaster prevention barrier. The system can initiate preventive irrigation 6 to 12 hours before frost occurs by monitoring the soil temperature gradient and combining it with precise low-temperature forecasts.
By enhancing soil heat capacity and near-surface air humidity, this system has successfully reduced frost damage by 70%, providing a reliable guarantee for the production of high-quality olive oil.
From Predictive Irrigation on California farms to precise drip irrigation in the Israeli desert, from precise water regulation in the Indian monsoon region to frost-proof management in Spanish olive orchards, HONDE’s weather and soil monitoring system is demonstrating the huge potential of data-driven irrigation worldwide. This system transforms the traditional “irrigation based on experience” into “irrigation based on data”, providing a practical solution for the sustainable use of water resources in global agriculture.
