Context Aware Evapotranspiration (ETs) for Saline Soils Reclamation

Accurate Evapotranspiration for saline soils (ETs) is important as well as challenging for the reclamation of saline soils through an effective leaching process. Evapotranspiration (ET) by FAO-56 Penman-Monteith standard method is complex, especially for saline soils. Moreover, existing studies focu...

description Accurate Evapotranspiration for saline soils (ETs) is important as well as challenging for the reclamation of saline soils through an effective leaching process. Evapotranspiration (ET) by FAO-56 Penman-Monteith standard method is complex, especially for saline soils. Moreover, existing studies focus on the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning-enabled smart and precision irrigation water recommendation systems along with the ET estimation by limited parameters. The ETs for saline soils are also equally important for the reclamation of saline soils, which is ignored by the existing literature. The study proposed IoT and machine leaching-based architecture of context-aware monthly ETs estimations for saline soil reclamation with the effective leaching process. The IoT-enabled crop field contexts in terms of crop field temperature, soil salinity, and irrigation water salinity are used as input features to the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and ensembled LSTM models for monthly ETs predictions. The performance of the proposed solution is observed in terms of the accuracy of the machine learning models along with the comparison against the FAO-56 PM-based standard method. The implementation of the proposed solution reveals that the ensembled LSTM-based approach for ETs is more accurate as compared to the LSTM model with accuracies of 92 and 90% for the training and validation datasets, respectively. The predictions made by the ensembled LSTM are more in line with the FAO-56 PM-based method with a Pearson correlation of 0.916 as compared to LSTM models. The implementation of the proposed solution in real-time environments reveals that the proposed solution is more effective in reducing the soil salinity as compared to the traditional method.
