SOLAR POWERED MECHANIZED DRIP IRRIGATION
Two innovative technologies, automated dripping irrigation systems and solar tracking systems, are pivotal in promoting efficient resource utilization and sustainable development The efficient utilization of water resources is crucial in agricultural practices, particularly in regions facing water scarcity. Drip irrigation systems have emerged as a sustainable solution to optimize water usage in agriculture. However, conventional drip irrigation systems often suffer from inefficiencies due to static positioning of the irrigation components, leading to uneven water distribution and wastage. This is an innovative approach to address these challenges by integrating a solar tracking system with automated drip irrigation technology. The system proposed adjusts the position of solar panels dynamically to optimize energy capture throughout the day. This ensures a consistent power supply to the drip irrigation system. Moreover, sensors and actuators are integrated into the irrigation components for real-time monitoring and control of water distribution, which is based on soil moisture levels. By merging solar tracking technology with automated drip irrigation, the system aims to improve water efficiency, decrease energy dependency, and optimize crop yields
