Control and Analysis of Drip irrigation system

The word irrigation is defined as “the purpose of water supplementary to the supplied directly by rainfall for the production of crops”. Globally, agriculture sector uses major share of accessible freshwater. Pakistan is a Farming nation and its significant economy relies on agribusiness. In Pakistan, fresh water sacristy rate is rising due to poor sanitation and water management system, increase in population and food demands and use of fresh water flood irrigation system to irrigate the agricultural land. About 73% of Fresh water resource is consumed for the irrigation purpose in Pakistan. The increase in population and the food demand is important to adopt irrigation system at large in the country. In such circumstances, controlled trickle water system framework serves the reasonable procedure to constrain the water provided to the yields at consistent interim for farming and replaces the surge water system frame work. Besides ordinary drip irrigation system, the controlled drip irrigation system monitors and controls the soil moisture and temperature of the crops using sensors. In this paper In this research designed a drip irrigation system that is controlled by Arduino UNO and we also calculate and simulate the pressure drop in pipelines of the drip irrigation system by using Matlab. The controlled drip irrigation system is another strategy in which water is conveyed close to the root zone of plants drop by drop. In this technique water drippers gradually to the fundamentals of the plants either onto the dirt surface or straightforwardly onto the root zone through a system of valves, channels, tubing. The results reveals that the controlled drip irrigation system is most efficient, accurate and water saving as compare to the conventional method of irrigation.
