Irrigation communities, especially in rural areas whose economy depends on agriculture, face a critical problem with the increasing water crisis. In this paper it is proposed a water control system to efficiently manage and coordinate the use of water in these communities. Blockchain technologies are employed to support trust among community members and commercial resource constrained devices communicating with the Blockchain network compose the hardware platform. A first implementation of this system and an evaluation of the system’s performance are also presented.
