Observable hydraulic phenomena

The platform helps identify patterns and critical irrigation conditions that can remain unnoticed with surface information or aggregated signals, providing evidence to better manage water resources and process solutions.

Phenomena

Hydraulic conditions to review

The objective is to support operational criteria with visual and temporal evidence.

D

Deep dry zones

Persistent high relative impedance in lower levels or relevant sectors.

P

Dry pockets

Localized volumes showing low evidence of effective irrigation.

F

Wet fronts

Spatial evolution of relative low-impedance zones associated with irrigation advance.

O

Over-irrigation

Local concentrations of relative wet condition requiring operational review.

C

Preferential channeling

Descent or concentration patterns that suggest dominant hydraulic paths.

H

Heterogeneity

Relevant spatial differences between sectors or depths.

S

Critical sectors

Areas prioritized by severity, location, depth and temporal persistence.

T

Time evolution

Snapshot comparison to study response to irrigation or operating changes.

H₂O

Water-resource control

Evidence to review where irrigation distributes well, where critical zones persist and where irrigation criteria should be adjusted.

Operation

From observation to action criteria

The goal is not to generate isolated alarms, but to provide evidence to decide where to look, what to compare and what to validate in the field.

  • Prioritization of critical sectors.
  • Before/after comparison of irrigation changes.
  • Support for more efficient and controlled use of water resources and process solutions.
  • Support for channeling or deep-drying hypotheses.
  • Basis for technical reports and follow-up.
