Abstract
In recent decades, the Earth witnessed a surge in severe atmospheric events attributed to climate change. Predictions indicate that such events will become even more frequent in the future. Among these, drought poses a particularly daunting challenge to agriculture, often subjecting crops to extended periods without access to essential water resources. Therefore, effective monitoring and decision-making processes are essential to mitigate its impact. In Italy, several systems have been deployed to address these challenges. While some of these systems are cost-effective, they are limited by their temporal and spatial resolutions. The study researches the main requirements imposed by customers (reclamation consortia and farmers) and proceeds to create a system that can satisfy them.
Specifically, the focus is on establishing a system architecture designed to retrieve critical parameters for the management of irrigation water during drought emergencies across Italy's agricultural landscapes, which include evapotranspiration and soil moisture levels of the fields
