Smart Irrigation District Management Solution

IoT-Based Irrigation Water Management and Automatic Gate Control System

Agricultural irrigation is one of the largest users of global water resources. With the development of modern agriculture and water-saving irrigation projects, traditional irrigation management methods based on manual inspection, manual flow measurement, and on-site gate operation are facing increasing challenges.

Many irrigation districts still experience problems such as:

  • Difficulty in obtaining real-time canal flow data
  • Inaccurate water consumption measurement
  • Manual operation of irrigation gates
  • Lack of coordination between different irrigation channels
  • Limited visibility of overall irrigation system status

KEHAO provides an integrated Smart Irrigation District Management Solution based on IoT technology, combining flow monitoring, water level monitoring, automatic gate control, RTU data acquisition, and cloud-based management platforms.

The solution enables irrigation authorities and water management organizations to achieve:

Real-time water monitoring, accurate water measurement, remote gate control, and intelligent water resource allocation.

Smart Irrigation District System Architecture

KEHAO Smart Irrigation District Management System consists of:

1. Canal Flow Monitoring System

Accurate Measurement of Irrigation Water Distribution

Flow monitoring is the foundation of modern irrigation district management.

KEHAO provides multiple flow measurement solutions, including:

Radar Flow Meter

Suitable for:

  • Open channels
  • Rivers
  • Irrigation canals

Advantages:

  • Non-contact measurement
  • No direct contact with water
  • Suitable for long-term unattended operation

Doppler Ultrasonic Flow Meter

Suitable for:

  • Irrigation channels
  • Rivers
  • Water conveyance systems

By measuring water velocity and flow conditions, the system calculates real-time discharge.

Box-Type Flow Meter

Suitable for:

  • Standardized irrigation measurement points
  • Agricultural water distribution systems

Through continuous flow monitoring, irrigation managers can:

✓ Understand actual water delivery volume
✓ Achieve accurate water measurement
✓ Optimize water allocation
✓ Improve irrigation management efficiency

2. Canal Water Level Monitoring

Real-Time Understanding of Water Delivery Conditions

Water level monitoring is an important parameter for irrigation system operation.

KEHAO supports:

  • Radar Water Level Sensors
  • Bubble Pressure Water Level Sensors
  • Submersible Pressure Sensors

Applications include:

  • Main irrigation canals
  • Secondary canals
  • Upstream and downstream gate monitoring
  • Water storage facilities

By combining water level and flow data, managers can better analyze:

  • Water conveyance conditions
  • Canal operation status
  • Irrigation efficiency

3. Automatic Gate Control System

Intelligent Water Distribution Management

Irrigation gates are critical control points in agricultural water management.

KEHAO solutions can integrate with automatic gate control systems to achieve:

  • Remote gate opening and closing
  • Gate status monitoring
  • Gate opening adjustment
  • Automated water distribution control

Based on:

  • Real-time flow data
  • Water level information
  • Irrigation schedules

the system enables more accurate and efficient water allocation.

For example, when upstream water conditions change, the system can adjust related gates according to predefined control strategies to maintain balanced water distribution throughout the irrigation network.

4. Irrigation Water Management Platform
