Sommario/riassunto

Achieving high water use efficiency in maintaining turf, trees and landscape areas is a core responsibility of open space managers. Water Use Efficiency for Irrigated Turf and Landscape provides a logical and scientifically sound approach to irrigation in urban areas in Australia. It is based on green space delivering defined outcomes using the principles of water sensitive urban design and irrigation efficiency. The book covers all stages of the water pathway – from the source to delivery into the plant root zone. Major topics include system planning, estimating water demand, water quality, irrigation systems, soil



management and irrigation performance evaluation. Clearly presented explanations are included, as well as line drawings and worked examples, and a plant water use database covering more than 250 plant species. A Water Management Planning template is included to guide water managers and operators through a process that will deliver a sound plan to achieve sustainable turf, urban trees and landscapes. Best Management Practice Irrigation principles are outlined and their implementation in open space turf and landscape situations is explained. The benefits and limitations of the various methods of delivering water to plants are covered, together with case studies and guidelines for specific horticultural situations. Methodologies to evaluate irrigated sites are included along with recommended benchmark values. The book presents the latest irrigation technology, including developments in water application, control technology and environmental sensors such as weather stations, soil moisture sensors and rain sensors.

Sommario/riassunto

This book presents a selection of papers from the industrial track of ISMIS 2020. The selection emphasizes broad applicability of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in various industrial fields. The aim of the book is to fertilize preliminary ideas of readers on the application of AI by means of already successfully implemented application examples. Furthermore, the development of new ideas and concepts shall be motivated by the variety of different application examples. The spectrum of the presented contributions ranges from education and training, industrial applications in production and logistics to the development of new approaches in basic research, which will further expand the possibilities of future applications of AI in industrial settings. This broad spectrum gives readers working in the industrial as well as the academic field a good overview of the state of the art in the field of methodologies for intelligent systems.
