اصول، طراحی و کاربرد سیستم‌های پشتیبان تصمیم‌گیری در برنامه‌ریزی آبیاری

Up to know,, the approaches used in field of irrigation scheduling in Iran have been usually carried out in a traditional way and lack of important information needed for accurate irrigation, which has led to over-irrigation or under-irrigation of fields and reduced water productivity. In this regard, smart irrigation can make better irrigation decisions and help save water consumption by using several factors such as plants' water requirement, soil characteristics, plants' response to water shortage, climate changes, and the condition of water resources. Currently, various methods are used to implement smart irrigation in the world, which are able to guarantee the increase of water consumption efficiency in dry lands, and can improve water management and progress in achieving several goals of sustainable development. In this review and in order to know more about smart irrigation, an attempt has been made to present the latest principles, design and application of decision support systems in irrigation scheduling operations. Decision Support System (DSS) is a software-based interactive system that is used to help decision makers gather useful information from a combination of raw data, and personal knowledge to identify and solve problems and make optimal decisions.
