- 3. What is drip irrigation.? Drip Irrigationis a type of irrigationthathas the potentialto save water and nutrients by allowingwater to drip slowlyto the roots ofplants.The goal is to place water directlyinto the root zone and minimize evaporation.
- 4. Components required: 1.Arduino uno. 2.Moisture sensor. 3.Flow meter.
- 5. 1.Arduino uno: •It is a open source hard ware and software device. •14 digital input and output pins. •Supports c and c++ language. •Input power should be 7-12v.
- 6. 2.Moisture sensor: Moisture sensor measures the volumetric content in soil.
- 7. 3.flow meter : •It is used to supply water which is electrically controlled. • It can be triggered on/off by sending signals.
- 9. Advantages of drip irrigation : 1.Fertilizer and nutrients loss is minimized. 2.Soil erosion is lessened. 3.Recycled non potable water can be safely used. 4.Field levelling is not necessary. 5.Weed growth is lessened. 6. Mainly used in crops like grapes, bananas , sugarcane, tomatoes ......,
- 10. Conclusion & future scope : The primary applications for this project are for farmers and gardeners who do not have enough time to water their crops/plants. It also covers those farmers who are wasteful of water during irrigation. As water supplies become scarce and polluted, there is a need to irrigate more efficiently in order to minimize water use and chemical leaching.
