#SDGAction52298
    Description
    Description

    By upgrading and improving the irrigation water demand information system based on 3S technology in irrigation areas, the compatibility of the system with different data sources and geographical locations is enhanced, and the ability to process and integrate data is improved. It is also promoted and applied in typical irrigation areas in the Yellow River Basin, providing technical support for scientific and efficient management of water resources in irrigation areas and optimal scheduling of regional water resources.

    Expected Impact

    (1) Promote the application of the technology in 2 irrigation districts in the Yellow River Basin to provide basic support for decision makers;
    (2) Preparation of user manuals.
