Potentiality Maps for Irrigation


We applied this method to extract potentiality maps for irrigation. We tested our method with several definitions of irrigated zones, by changing the expressions related to each premise in the knowledge:

IF (Irrigated area) THEN
First knowledge: (near hydrographic network:

very necessary) AND

(less than 300m high:

very necessary) AND

(near road:

very necessary)

Second knowledge: (near hydrographic network:

very necessary) AND

(less than 300m high:

very necessary) AND

(near road:

very necessary)

Third knowledge: (near hydrographic network :

highly inadequate) AND

(less than 300m high:

highly inadequate) AND


(near road :

highly inadequate).

Image 39: Application of the first knowledge for best localization of "irrigated zone ":
IF (Irrigated area) THEN
(near hydrographic network: very necessary) AND (less than 300m of height: very necessary) AND (near road: very necessary).

Actually, the resulting image is a set of points in the interval of [-1,+1], image 40 , image 41, image 42 are representations by classes. White regions are the most favourable zones to the corresponding definition, grey regions are less favourable, and so on.


Image 40: Application of the second knowledge:
IF (Irrigated area) THEN
(near hydrographic network : totally necessary ) AND ( less than 300m : very necessary ) AND ( near road : very necessary ).


Image 41: Application of the third knowledge:
IF (Irrigated area) THEN
(near hydrographic network : highly inadequate) AND (less than 300m : highly inadequate) AND (near road : highly inadequate).

We can see from the resulting images, the changes of the patterns with modification of knowledge.
