Irrigation Practices Modeling Framework

<p dir="ltr">This repository contains three Jupyter notebooks designed to simulate crop growth and soil processes under different water management scenarios:</p><ul><li>Drip irrigation</li><li>Sprinkler irrigation</li><li>Rainfed (serving as a control scenario without irrigation)</li></ul><p dir="ltr">Each notebook performs a growing season simulation of:</p><ul><li>Vertically integrated soil moisture dynamics</li><li>Crop biomass growth</li><li>Soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions</li></ul><p dir="ltr">The notebooks take as input a NumPy array representing rainfall distribution. As an example, the file rain_Lubbock_lbd0p18_aphp0096.npy, provided here, contains 200 seasons of a typical 140-day growing season of rainfall representative of the Texas High Plains.</p><p dir="ltr">For the example simulations, we use soil, weather, and crop parameters representative of the corn growing season in the Texas High Plains, a major agricultural region in the United States that relies heavily on irrigation for sustainable production.</p>
