Abstract

A water flow regulation system provides for the distribution of water between one or more water sources and one or more water distribution destinations based on a set of rules. Some embodiments provide for systems and methods of regulating water flow based on various status information, such as weather, cost, under-ground moisture, time or season.

Claims

1. A water flow regulation system comprising:

one or more water sources;

one or more water distribution destinations;

a water conduit system configured to facilitate distribution of water between the one or more water sources and the one or more water distribution destinations; and

a controller configured to control the distribution of water between the one or more water sources and the one or more water distribution destinations based at least in part on a set of rules and status information related to the set of rules.

2. The water flow regulation system of claim 1, wherein the status information comprises weather forecast information.

3. The water flow regulation system of claim 1, wherein the status information comprises crop identification information.

4. The water flow regulation system of claim 1, further comprising a ground moisture sensor wherein the status information comprises ground moisture information provided by the ground moisture sensor.

5. The water flow regulation system of claim 1, wherein the status information comprises information related to the cost of water from at least one of the one or more water sources.

6. The water flow regulation system of claim 1, wherein the controller is programmable by a user.

7. The water flow regulation system of claim 6, wherein the controller is programmable remotely.

8. The water flow regulation system of claim 1, wherein the water conduit system comprises a network of pipes.

9. The water flow regulation system of claim 1, wherein at least one of the one or more water distribution destinations is a crop field.

10. A method of regulating the flow of water comprising:

providing a controller configured to control the distribution of water between one or more water sources and one or more water distribution destinations based at least in part on a set of rules and status information related to the set of rules.
