Smart soıl ırrıgatıon system

Abstract

In recent years, clean water sources, especially global warming, and the use of water have become very important. In addition, the importance of water has gained a special importance for many farmers, especially agricultural activities and water requirement in the last century. The idea that many academic and commercial studies have gained importance in this regard in order to increase the use of water, energy consumption and product amount by using smart systems instead of irrigation in previous years. Even countries have brought up self-sufficient food policies. It is a known fact that there is an anxiety about whether food will be enough in both people and food companies that play an important role in the supply sector, since all the countries of the world have closed the border gates due to the Covid 19 pandemic, which is seen all over the world in 2020. In this study, it is aimed to be an exemplary design study for agricultural irrigation by equipping soil irrigation systems with smart systems (sensors, renewable energy transformations, etc.). Soil irrigation systems are the systems that increase the product efficiency needed in every climate and provide water saving. The need for the system arises from the invalidity of water or insufficient product efficiency. These problems, which are seen in crops or water saving, are solved by giving water to the plant as much as the requirement of the grown plant. In the system described in this article, sensors measuring in a certain area were used and information was received from these sensors and a command was sent to the irrigation system. With the command sent, the engine is running and water is supplied to the system. Irrigation system, each sensor measures the measured value of the sensor separately by irrigating the area allows the cultivation of different plants in the same land. Since there is no city network in every field, it may be difficult to have the energy required for the systems to be supplied. For this reason, solar panels and gel batteries are used in the system, so that the irrigation system can be used at the points where there is no city network.
