Abstract
This paper describes a soil moisture forecasting approach for estimation of irrigation water saving in a semi-arid area. The soil moisture forecasting model is based on the vertical water movements between the soil layers. It was created based on measurements of both weather conditions and soil moistures at the field under study. The simulation model predicts the soil moisture development based on weather forecasts. The idea of the model is to use it for controlling the precision irrigation system and to save the irrigation water consumption. The simulations show the potential for saving about 25% of irrigation water without compromising the health of the crop.
