The aim of the article is to develop an efficient solution for farmers who irrigate crops with large amounts of water. The solution provided is based on multiple sensors (water quality, air quality, consumption, and climate) so that several parameters of the environment can be monitored simultaneously. The monitored parameters are conductivity, turbidity, salinity, precipitation levels, pH, dissolved oxygen and water temperature. The collected data will be filtered and translated into legible and meaningful data using intelligent algorithms for farmers. This paper is based on the experiments developed in the SWAM project, and the location where they were performed was chosen in Moara Domneasca. The location of the Moara Domnească Experimental Base, where the case study is implemented, is located 25 km from Bucharest, in the Commune of Afumați, Ilfov County in the Subunit of the Romanian Plain. Thus, the quality of the water used for irrigation purposes can be determined following the analysis and periodic monitoring of the parameters","PeriodicalId":306682,"journal":{"name":"Air and Water Components of the Environment Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129182277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study’s purpose is to monitor, using Internet of Things technology, two methods of identifying vine-specific diseases, which can be determined by environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, rainfall) or by analyzing diseased leaves from the vine. The first method is associated with a field study that involves placing Internet of Things sensors inside crops to measure environmental and plant parameters, which are then sent and stored in the Cloud. Based on these parameters, a correlation is made with the values that determine the occurrence of a specific vine disease (powdery mildew, downy mildew, and grey rot). The second method involves the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle imaging to take images containing healthy and diseased leaves from different parts of the vine. To analyze these images, a web page has been developed integrating a machine learning algorithm that detects the leaf state from the drone image footage. After the analysis all the values are stored in a database and the results are displayed as graphs and charts that are visualized by the viticulturist so that he can take the necessary actions. This study is an important step in the implementation of Internet of Things technology in viticulture, helping to monitor the main environmental and plant parameters, as well as detecting the occurrence of diseases among the vine cultures.","PeriodicalId":306682,"journal":{"name":"Air and Water Components of the Environment Conference","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115362069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is important to model floods for the determination of the vulnerable areas, and planning of the dangerous zones. For this purpose, HEC-RAS software is in use to create complex flood models. In general, for the modeling of a flood by using any software, an accurate topography of the area, boundary conditions, Manning coefficients, and the flow data are essential. However, it is not always possible to have the flow rate of all streams located in the study area. Because of the mentioned reason, in this study authors preferred to directly use precipitation data for modeling the flood. A model was created by using SRTM satellite data for the digital elevation model. A two-dimensional geometry was created, and the precipitation data was added to the model. The main output of the performed model showed that using precipitation data directly on a flood model is not fully representative of the extent of flooding. According to the model result, the flood is spread over a wider area than it actually was.","PeriodicalId":306682,"journal":{"name":"Air and Water Components of the Environment Conference","volume":"6 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114034305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The quality and composition of surface and underground waters is determined by natural factors (geological, topographical, meteorological, hydrological and biological characteristics of catchment) and by human activity (industrial wastes, sewage, runoff from farmland, cities, factory effluents, different hydrotechnical arrangements etc.). The evolution of water quality is also determined by the processes that take place in water bodies: chemical (neutralization, oxidation, reduction, flocculation, precipitation, adsorption, absorption, photochemical decomposition), physical (dilution, mixing, diffusion, sedimentation, coagulation, dissolution of oxygen, release of gases into the air, also influenced by solar radiation IR and UV, water temperature), biological (by its own biocenosis that competes with foreign elements, either directly, by lytic action (bacteriophages), filtration (shells), consumption (by protozoa) or the secretion of toxic substances for intruders (actinomycetes) and biochemicals (within the cycles of nitrogen, sulfur and carbon, based on the activity of specific microorganisms)). In this context, modeling the evolution of water quality is of particular importance for efficient water management. For the best possible forecast of water quality, the use of advanced hydroinformatic tools, such as the MIKEby DHI (Danish Hydraulic Institute) software package, is needed. The paper presents the possibility of using these tools and conducts a case study on a sector of the Bega River, downstream of Timisoara.","PeriodicalId":306682,"journal":{"name":"Air and Water Components of the Environment Conference","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127477065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
