Automatic Industrial Irrigation Project with Software codes, Mobile App & Progress Reports.

Energy in Irrigation! Water requires automation right. in East Africa, smallholder farmers may face issues such as limited access to water and financing, while in the Middle East, water scarcity and salinization of soils may be of significant concerns. In other continents

1. North America: In North America, agriculture is practiced on a large scale, with many farmers using center pivot irrigation systems. However, in some areas of the United States, particularly in the West, water scarcity is a significant concern. The overuse of groundwater and competing demands for water from urban areas, industry, and agriculture can lead to conflicts over water resources. Additionally, changing weather patterns are causing more frequent droughts, exacerbating water scarcity issues.
2. Asia, home to many diverse agricultural systems has monsoon rains providing the majority of the water needed for agriculture. However, with changing weather patterns, monsoons are becoming increasingly unpredictable, leading to droughts or floods that damage crops.
3. South America: In South America, many countries are dependent on agriculture for economic development, particularly in the Andean region. However, irrigation systems in this region can be challenging due to the steep terrain and limited access to water resources. In addition, the use of pesticides and fertilizers can lead to contamination of water resources, affecting both human health and the environment.
4. Australia: In Australia, agriculture is practiced in arid and semi-arid areas, and water is a precious resource. Many farmers use drip irrigation or other water-efficient systems to maximize crop yields while conserving water. However, the overuse of water for irrigation in some areas has led to water scarcity issues, particularly in the Murray-Darling Basin, one of Australia's most important agricultural regions.

Therefore, this Industrial Irrigation Project features Precision irrigation capabilities that allow farmers to optimize their crop yields while reducing water usage and costs. Additionally, the Industrial Irrigation Project is built to work on renewable solar energy making it economically cheaper.

Key features of this system include:

• Irrigation Calendar: The system determines the frequency of watering based on the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Crop H20 Requirements, with the farmer inputting crop type, geographical location (for Climate Zoning), Planting Date and Soil Type. The system uses this information to specify the Water requirements, Irrigation Intervals, Gross Irrigation Depth.
• Watering Protocol: The system checks if it is an irrigation day and if the installed agriculture sensors indicate it is the ideal time to irrigate the soil, based on soil moisture, transpiration rates, temperature, humidity, and optionally wind speed. As shown with the Figure below;

  

  
  
• Tank Analytics: The system takes into account tank volume, capacity, and usage to ensure that the required water volume can be delivered uniformly across the farm area.
• Water Deficit: During the rainy season, the system compensates for water deficits by delivering only the amount of water needed to optimize crop growth.

The Control System Architecture includes the Irrigation Schedule which you set from the Mobile App, Irrigation controllers with the main automation accessories and the environmental sensors offering feedback between the target farm and the mobile app.

By investing in this project, farmers can benefit from improved crop yields, reduced water usage, and significant cost savings. Our precision irrigation system offers a state-of-the-art solution for efficient and environmentally friendly irrigation practices, allowing farmers to take their agricultural practices to the next level.
