Abstract
A system for allocating irrigation resources includes a hub for collecting imaging data and soil condition readings from watering areas proximal to sprinkler nodes. A combiner operated to form combined cluster data from each sprinkler node in a sprinkler cluster. An interpreter operated to generate mapped cluster data from combined cluster data and a geolocation map. A correlator to generate a current cluster snapshot from the mapped cluster data and spatiotemporal weather information. A comparator configured to compare the current cluster snapshot with recorded sprinkler cluster activity data to determine deficient regions within the watering areas in sprinkler cluster, and generate an activation control for the sprinkler cluster. A selector to select a spatiotemporal watering control from the activation control for a specific sprinkler node. The specific sprinkler node to deliver a directed fluid stream to the deficient region within the watering area.
