The '''Infrastructure''' domain covers the physical systems used to extract, treat, store, transport, distribute, and manage water and agricultural resources within AOWIS deployments.

This includes pumps, wells, pipelines, valves, reservoirs, water treatment systems, energy systems, and other field hardware.

Infrastructure documentation focuses on the physical characteristics, practical deployment, operation, maintenance, and interaction of these systems.

Where applicable, infrastructure should be considered under the real-world operating conditions targeted by AOWIS, including limited technical resources, unreliable power supply, harsh environmental conditions, and the need for long-term local maintainability.

== Water Sources ==

Systems and structures used to obtain raw water.

* [[Infrastructure:Wells|Wells]]
* [[Infrastructure:Boreholes|Boreholes]]
* [[Infrastructure:Surface Water|Surface Water]]
* [[Infrastructure:Rainwater Harvesting|Rainwater Harvesting]]

== Water Extraction and Pumping ==

Equipment used to extract and move water.

* [[Infrastructure:Pumps|Pumps]]
* [[Infrastructure:Submersible Pumps|Submersible Pumps]]
* [[Infrastructure:Surface Pumps|Surface Pumps]]
* [[Infrastructure:Solar Pumping|Solar Pumping]]
* [[Infrastructure:Manual Pumps|Manual Pumps]]

== Water Treatment and Quality ==

Physical systems used to improve raw water quality or make water suitable for its intended use.

* [[Infrastructure:Water Treatment|Water Treatment]]
** [[Infrastructure:Desalination|Desalination]]
*** [[Infrastructure:Solar Desalination|Solar Desalination]]
** [[Infrastructure:Filtration|Filtration]]
** [[Infrastructure:Disinfection|Disinfection]]
** [[Infrastructure:Remineralization|Remineralization]]

Water-quality measurement, measurement procedures, units, calibration, and representation of measurement data belong primarily to the [[Measurement:Main_Page|Measurement]] domain.

== Water Storage ==

Systems used to store raw, treated, or distributed water.

* [[Infrastructure:Water Storage|Water Storage]]
* [[Infrastructure:Water Tanks|Water Tanks]]
* [[Infrastructure:Reservoirs|Reservoirs]]
* [[Infrastructure:Water Towers|Water Towers]]

== Water Distribution ==

Physical infrastructure used to transport and distribute water.

* [[Infrastructure:Water Distribution|Water Distribution]]
* [[Infrastructure:Pipelines|Pipelines]]
* [[Infrastructure:Valves|Valves]]
* [[Infrastructure:Pressure Management|Pressure Management]]
* [[Infrastructure:Distribution Points|Distribution Points]]

== Irrigation Infrastructure ==

Physical systems used for agricultural water distribution.

* [[Infrastructure:Irrigation|Irrigation]]
* [[Infrastructure:Drip Irrigation|Drip Irrigation]]
* [[Infrastructure:Irrigation Reservoirs|Irrigation Reservoirs]]
* [[Infrastructure:Irrigation Distribution|Irrigation Distribution]]

== Energy Infrastructure ==

Physical energy systems supporting water and agricultural infrastructure.

* [[Infrastructure:Energy Systems|Energy Systems]]
* [[Infrastructure:Solar Power|Solar Power]]
* [[Infrastructure:Battery Systems|Battery Systems]]
* [[Infrastructure:Electrical Distribution|Electrical Distribution]]
* [[Infrastructure:Backup Power|Backup Power]]

== Field Hardware ==

Physical components used to support monitoring, control, protection, and operation.

* [[Infrastructure:Sensors|Sensors]]
* [[Infrastructure:Actuators|Actuators]]
* [[Infrastructure:Control Cabinets|Control Cabinets]]
* [[Infrastructure:Electrical Protection|Electrical Protection]]
* [[Infrastructure:Field Enclosures|Field Enclosures]]
* [[Infrastructure:Cabling|Cabling]]

== Design Considerations ==

Infrastructure deployed within AOWIS environments may need to account for:

* limited availability of replacement parts
* limited access to specialist technicians
* unreliable or intermittent electrical power
* high temperatures and solar exposure
* dust, sand, moisture, and corrosion
* long transport distances and difficult logistics
* compatibility with existing or aging infrastructure
* ease of inspection and maintenance
* safe operation under degraded conditions
* local fabrication and repair capabilities

These considerations describe the deployment context. Normative requirements, where applicable, belong in the [[Standard:Main_Page|Standard]] namespace.

== Relationship to Other AOWIS Domains ==

The Infrastructure domain describes '''physical systems and components'''.

Related information may belong to other AOWIS domains:

* [[Measurement:Main_Page|Measurement]] — measurement values, units, calibration, quality, and interpretation
* [[Architecture:Main_Page|Architecture]] — system structure and interaction between major components
* [[Operations:Main_Page|Operations]] — operational behavior, control logic, and runtime procedures
* [[Modules:Main_Page|Modules]] — reusable functional capabilities
* [[Reference:Main_Page|Reference]] — concrete example designs and reference implementations
* [[Standard:Main_Page|Standard]] — normative AOWIS requirements

== Reference Implementations ==

Concrete engineering designs and deployment examples should generally be documented in the [[Reference:Main_Page|Reference]] namespace rather than here.

Infrastructure pages describe technologies, components, design considerations, limitations, and interfaces.

Reference pages may describe specific implementations such as:

* water tower designs
* pumping station layouts
* solar pumping installations
* low-tech water treatment systems
* solar desalination installations
* irrigation installations
