D
Deep dry zones
Persistent high relative impedance at lower levels or in relevant sectors within the instrumented coverage.
Observable hydraulic phenomena in instrumented zones
The platform helps identify irrigation patterns and critical conditions within instrumented zones, complementing surface information, global balances and aggregated operating signals.
Phenomena
Hydraulic conditions to review
The objective is to support operational criteria with visual and temporal evidence.
P
Dry pockets
Localized volumes with low relative evidence of effective irrigation, subject to temporal comparison and operational validation.
F
Wet fronts
Spatial and temporal evolution of relative low-impedance zones associated with irrigation advance.
O
Over-irrigation
Local concentrations of relatively wet conditions that may require operational review or comparison with process variables.
C
Preferential channeling
Downward or concentration patterns suggesting dominant hydraulic paths.
H
Heterogeneity
Relevant spatial differences between sectors, depths or operating periods.
S
Critical sectors
Areas prioritized by severity, location, depth and temporal persistence.
T
Time evolution
Temporal comparison of measurements to study the response to irrigation changes, operating conditions or complementary variables.
H₂O
Water-resource control
Evidence for reviewing relative irrigation distribution, persistence of critical zones, and operational monitoring or adjustment criteria.
CS
Vertical tomography-like cuts
Depth review of the most critical section and manual sweep of cross-sections along the heap.
TH
Internal thermal condition
Temperature monitoring at instrumented points or depths to observe temporal evolution, thermal gradients and internal conditions relevant to operational diagnosis.
Critical section
See the problem in depth
Some hydraulic phenomena are better understood in vertical cut than in a surface view. The tomography-like visualization helps review continuity, depth, transitions and critical sectors within the instrumented coverage.
Operation
From observation to action criteria
The goal is not to generate isolated alarms, but to provide evidence to prioritize sectors, compare evolution, and define what should be validated in the field using operational criteria.
- Prioritization of critical sectors.
- Before/after comparison of irrigation changes.
- Support for more informed management of water resources, process solutions and relevant internal variables.
- Support for channeling or deep-drying hypotheses.
- Basis for technical reports and follow-up.
