The Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) method is a rice-growing water management technique promoted as a sustainable alternative to Continuous Flooding (CF). Climate change has placed the agricultural sector in a challenging position,…

Atmospheric water harvesting is urgently needed given increasing global water scarcity. Current sorbent-based devices that cycle between water capture and release have low harvesting rates. We envision a radically different multi-material…

The bi-layered structure has drawn a wide interest due to its good performance in solar steam generation. In this work, we firstly develop a calculation model which could give a good prediction of experimental results. Then, this model is…

A novel system containing nanoporous materials and carbonate ions is proposed, which is capable to capture CO2 from ambient air simply by controlling the amount of water (humidity) in the system. The system absorbs CO2 from the air when the…

Herein we propose a method to mimic natural processes for the creation of precipitation, in a safe, economically feasible manner anywhere in the world. We propose this is accomplishable via changing the target of the well established field…

The investigation of water's glass transition and a possible liquid-liquid transition within its supercooled state is hampered by its inevitable crystallization in a temperature range, termed "no-man's land". Here we report…

A model is presented for the gravity-driven flow of rainwater descending through the soil layer of a green roof, treated as a porous medium on a flat permeable surface representing an efficient drainage layer. A fully saturated zone is…

This article introduces a new mobile-based application of modern information and communication technology in agriculture based on Internet of Things (IoT), embedded systems and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The proposed agricultural…

This paper explains how to build an intelligent irrigation system using Arduino (a micro- controller) and many devices (humidity, temperature, pressure and water flow sensors). Our irrigation system combines a precise method to determine…

The IoT vision of ubiquitous and pervasive computing gives rise to future smart irrigation systems comprising physical and digital world. Smart irrigation ecosystem combined with Machine Learning can provide solutions that successfully…

This study intends to build smart water irrigation for rice farming using IoT and microcontroller devices with solar panel support. The system demonstrates the capabilities of automated irrigation by reducing physical labor through smart…

We investigated theoretically water evaporation from concentrated supramolecular mixtures, such as solutions of polymers or amphiphilic molecules, using numerical resolutions of a one dimensional model based on mass transport equations.…

Agricultural irrigation ensures that the water required for plant growth is delivered to the soil in a controlled manner. However, uncontrolled management can lead to water waste while reducing agricultural productivity. Drip irrigation…

Recent advances in automated vehicles have focused on improving perception performance under adverse weather conditions; however, research on physical hardware solutions remains limited, despite their importance for perception critical…

In this paper we propose a robotic system for Irrigation Water Management (IWM) in a structured robotic greenhouse environment. A commercially available robotic manipulator is equipped with an RGB-D camera and a soil moisture sensor. The…

Dew-harvesting technology radiatively cools a condenser below the dewpoint to achieve condensation of the water vapor from the atmosphere. Due to its passive nature, this technology has attracted a broad interest, in particular in the…

This manuscript contains a description and basic principles for observing inaccessible areas using low cost, easily deployed equipment. The basic premise is to suspend a tiny video camera at an altitude of 10 - 200 meters over the area to…

This paper presents an experimental study on thermal transport to single water droplets evaporating on heated bi-phobic surfaces consisting of a superhydrophobic matrix with a circular hydrophobic pattern with strong contact line pinning. A…

Evaporation of water droplets on a superhydrophobic substrate, on which the contact line is pinned, is investigated. While previous studies mainly focused on droplets with contact angles smaller than 90^\circ, here we analyze almost the…

Earth's distant past and potentially its future include extremely warm "hothouse" climate states, but little is known about how the atmosphere behaves in such states. One distinguishing characteristic of hothouse climates is that they…
