Automated Intelligent Wireless Drip Irrigation Using Linear Programming

Automated Intelligent Wireless Drip Irrigation Using Linear Programming

  Abstract:

 Drip Irrigation is today’s need because water is nature’s gift to the mankind and it is not unlimited and free forever. World’s water resources are fastly vanishing. The one and only one solution to this problem is automated Drip Irrigation system. In the field of agriculture, use of proper method of irrigation is important and it is well known that irrigation by drip is very economical and efficient. In the conventional drip irrigation system, the farmer has to keep watch on irrigation timetable, which is different for different crops. In Automatic microcontroller based drip irrigation system irrigation will take place only when there will be intense requirement of water. Irrigation system uses valves to turn irrigation ON and OFF. These valves may be easily automated by using controllers and solenoids. The purpose of this paper is to provide more facility in agriculture field by using wireless sensor network along with linear programming. Paper describes an application of a wireless sensor network for low-cost wireless controlled and monitored irrigation solution.

The developed irrigation method removes the need for workmanship for flooding irrigation as well as drip irrigation. use of linear programming help us to distribute available water to the crops if and only if there is immense need of water to the crop in order to get maximum profit with minimum cost. Also linear Programming helps us to do proper management of available water
