Predicting Weather and Water Requirements: AI in Smart Water Irrigation, Part 2

AI can predict weather patterns pretty accurately using historic data. AI can also use historic data to predict irrigation requirements. By analysing previous weather data, AI can forecast future climate trends. For those who grow our plants, they can use the forecasted weather to plan their activities, such as
  • Planting
  • And harvesting
According to expected weather. By predicting how and when we plant and harvest plants, we can increase the efficiency of our system. 

And we can optimise water usage.

AI models can help to predict water availability. I wonder what they mean here. Availability from where? I suppose things like drought, flow, supply and demand.... This can help farmers to manage their irrigation schedules more effectively. It can reduce the possibility of watering too much (which is bad for the plants and bad for the soil and wastes water) and of watering too little (which means that our crops will not grow properly).

By predicting rainfall or any other unexpected changes the the weather, we help farmers to prepare for challenges.

Hello World

 Hello from Susanna Codes! Hi everyone,  My name is Susanna and I'm a 28-year-old aspiring software engineer from Brighton! As I type this, listening to music from "Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain" (it reminds me of home, in Luxembourg, where I am from - I'm missing home quite a lot lately!) and look forward to some Irish Cream tea in my afternoon break, I am thinking: How lucky I am that my amazing colleague Rosana helped me out with a plan for my software engineer journey (she directed me to the front-end first). How HTML and CSS would not have been my first languages of choice had I not been guided in this direction, as in my head they were seen as 'less-serious' langages. How done I am with what other people think of me and if other people see the 'front-end' as softer then so be it! Everyone has to start somewhere. I am so grateful to be on this journey, with Codecademy's Front-End Engineer Career Path.  Thank you to Async Brighton as ...

Where To Hide A Star

Where To Hide A Star I haven’t read this book but I just saw this title of a forthcoming children’s book on the train and so I wanted to write a blog post based off of this as well. The last six months have been… rewarding and fulfilling. I have managed to make all of my dreams come true and to defy expectations,  Sometimes the best place to hide is in plain sight and if you reread all of my blogs over the last six months (all 200 of them) you would know exactly what I’m struggling at work and what was going on. And why. But I’ve managed to overcome most of my challenges. Neurodiversity. Being very new in the field relative to the expectations of the job. Being in a new workplace environment. All stuff which I can handle and I am doing just fine. Because I am amazing and fabulous and I can do anything. I am loving the job. I am thriving. I am loving just getting on with it. I love my work. I am having massive breakthroughs. On Thursday I had what felt like the biggest breakthrough ...

In the Water, I find Fire

In the Water, I find Fire Who am I without renewable energy? I had to ask myself this question last year when my company laid off half its employees.  I didn’t know who I was anymore. Not without renewable energy. But I did everything I could to stay in it. The time in between jobs allowed me to experiment. Travel around the UK a bit. Reconnect with old hobbies. Rediscover my femininity a bit - be someone who wasn’t always working. But I fought to stay in renewable energy. A part of myself has been telling myself that I am in renewable energy still and that’s great because I am. But I am mostly in water. And that was hard for me to accept that. Because I love renewable energy so so much. And I couldn’t imagine my life without it. But now I can. Not because I don’t love it But because I need to give myself to something more too and that is water Because in the water I find my passion In the water, I find my fire In the water, I find my self again In the water, I find my Self So let’...
