用联邦学习优化浇灌,边端设备本地训练不泄露隐私

Federated Learning Approach to Mitigate Water Wastage

  • 边端设备本地训练模型,仅上传参数更新
  • 实测降低50%草坪过度灌溉浪费
  • 适合关注隐私保护与智能节水的农业/城市用户

北美洲居民户外用水每日近90亿加仑,约50%因过度灌溉而浪费,尤其在草坪和花园中。为应对这一问题,本文提出基于联邦学习的智能灌溉方案。系统通过集成土壤湿度传感器与执行器,构建分布式边缘设备网络,使每个用户可在本地训练专属环境模型,仅向中央服务器上传模型更新,从而保护隐私并适应各地差异性气候条件。采用低成本硬件(如Arduino Uno微控制器与土壤湿度传感器)实现原型,验证了该方法在保障作物高效生产的同时显著减少水资源浪费。本方案不仅响应节水需求,还提供可扩展、隐私友好的解决方案,适用于住宅及农业场景。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Residential outdoor water use in North America accounts for nearly 9 billion gallons daily, with approximately 50\% of this water wasted due to over-watering, particularly in lawns and gardens. This inefficiency highlights the need for smart, data-driven irrigation systems. Traditional approaches to reducing water wastage have focused on centralized data collection and processing, but such methods can raise privacy concerns and may not account for the diverse environmental conditions across different regions. In this paper, we propose a federated learning-based approach to optimize water usage in residential and agricultural settings. By integrating moisture sensors and actuators with a distributed network of edge devices, our system allows each user to locally train a model on their specific environmental data while sharing only model updates with a central server. This preserves user privacy and enables the creation of a global model that can adapt to varying conditions. Our implementation leverages low-cost hardware, including an Arduino Uno microcontroller and soil moisture sensors, to demonstrate how federated learning can be applied to reduce water wastage while maintaining efficient crop production. The proposed system not only addresses the need for water conservation but also provides a scalable, privacy-preserving solution adaptable to diverse environments.
