| Summary: | Nowadays, water and energy resources are becoming scarcer due to the inefficient use of these vital resources in agricultural irrigation worldwide. The unique solution to this problem is the application of smart technology in water distribution systems. But the most pivot weir installations in water distribution systems have not access to power and have a remote location from the power line. This problem requires developing a low-power smart system for water level and flow measurement and control in open canals. In this study, the authors attempt to detect the advantages and disadvantages of existing methods and hardware, the most important influencing factors of the system for energy efficiency, and develop a more energy-efficient and precise smart system for water flow and level measurement and controls in open canals. The question of the development of a low power smart system for water flow and level measurement and control in open canals in terms of energy efficiency is considered as well. Theoretical and experimental research results are submitted.
