Abstract

This study investigates the seepage behaviour in drip irrigation systems using fluorescence-based image analysis and explores the influence of different fractal gradings in media permeability. Drip irrigation is a widely used method for water-efficient crop production, but understanding the dynamics of water movement in the soil is crucial for optimizing irrigation efficiency and crop yield. In this research, fluorescent tracers are used to visualize and track the movement of water through soil media with varying fractal gradings. Image analysis techniques are employed to quantify seepage patterns and assess the impact of fractal gradings on water distribution uniformity and efficiency. The findings provide valuable insights into the hydraulic properties of soils with different fractal structures and offer guidance for designing drip irrigation systems tailored to specific soil conditions.
