“…SM150 sensors have been used both as portable sensors and as sensors buried in the ground. These sensors have been buried for periods of several days to years in order to collect SWC data for application in various fields of research (Roets, Cronje, Schoeman, Murovhi, & Ratlapane, 2013; Veeramanikandasamy, Sambath, Rajendran, & Sangeetha, 2014); however, no performance assessment has been conducted involving the use of the SM150 as a portable sensor. The manufacturer's specification of the sensing volume for best results is an elliptical cylinder extending ∼25 mm around the rods.…”

Ground observations are critical in the validation of soil water content (SWC) estimates from both satellites and land surface models. Portable SWC sensors provide useful information to determine the amount of SWC in the topsoil layer for various applications; however, these probes are not accurate without site-specific correction. In the present study, we examined and compared six different types of portable electromagnetic (EM) SWC sensors, including multiple sensors made by the same manufacturers, for a total of 16 EM-based SWC probes equipped with portable data loggers. All SWC probes met the target accuracy after onsite correction-the RMSD was <0.025 m 3 m −3. Using the two-sample t tests, we observed that SWC data obtained from similar electrode lengths and from different manufacturers showed similar distributions over time with the same mean. Furthermore, using the maximize R method to combine SWC data from two different types of sensors increased the accuracy of the results. When datasets from two different types of sensors were combined, the Pearson's correlation coefficient (R value) and RMSD values were improved. The average R value improved from .930 to .945, and the RMSD decreased from 0.036 to 0.018 m 3 m −3. These results indicate that, along with site-specific correction, synergetic use of multiple manufacturers' EM-based SWC probes can improve the R value and reduce systematic bias.

“…The system also addresses desert-specific challenges, such as dust, infertile sandy soils, constant wind, very low humidity, and extreme variations in daytime and seasonal temperatures. [19] proposed an automated system to make effective utilization of water resources for agriculture and crop growth monitoring using ZigBee and GSM technology. The efficient application of irrigation and fertilizer is very important for optimizing crop water productivity and water losses, even in drip irrigation [20].…”

The Tunisian economy's main driver is agriculture. A significant amount of the freshwater used in this industry is for irrigation. By missing the timings throughout this irrigation procedure, people waste more water. A drop in output rates has been caused by the improper management of irrigation water. Therefore, developing intelligent methods and systems based on cutting-edge technology is essential for the efficient use of fresh water, especially in dry regions with a scarcity of rainfall. Smart irrigation systems might be a viable way to avoid both over-and under-irrigating while also playing a significant part in reducing water use. Thus, we will suggest in this study a novel approach for smart irrigation in the southern Tunisia region to optimize water use and give a remote control and monitoring for the irrigation system. For this, a cloud-based wireless communication system was proposed and evaluated to monitor and control a set of sensors (soil moisture, flowmeter, solenoid value, water level and weather temperature) and actuators to assess the plant water need.

“…The "Global Water Crisis" predicts that the increasing demand for clean water amid drought and hot weather conditions would seriously affect agriculture [2]. The presence of a water shortage in both agricultural and non-agricultural communities will significantly influence the quality of life for residents, particularly those who depend on these towns for food production on an intermittent basis [3]. When aiming to get a prosperous crop yield, it is vital to consider both the irrigation methodology that is employed and the volume of water that is consumed.…”
