    An automated irrigation system operates with minimal manual intervention beyond surveillance. It eliminates manual valve operation and allows optimization of irrigation and fertigation processes by changing frequency. Automation increases water and fertilizer use efficiency by operating at night to minimize evaporation and starting/stopping irrigation exactly as required. This saves labor costs, water, time, fuel, and vehicle maintenance for farmers compared to manual irrigation. Automatic systems conserve water resources and improve agricultural efficiency and yields.

    AUTOMATIC IRRIGATION SYSTEM

    RESEARCH DOCUMENT
    Automatic Irrigation

    • An automated irrigation system refers to the operation of the system


    with no or just a minimum of manual intervention beside the
    surveillance.
    • Advantages
    • Automation eliminates the manual operation of opening or closing
    valves
    • Possibility to change frequency of irrigation and fertigation processes
    and to optimise these processes
    • Adoption of advanced crop systems and new technologies, especially
    new crop systems that are complex and difficult to operate manually
    • Use of water from different sources and increased efficiency in water and
    fertiliser use
    • System can be operated at night, water loss from evaporation is thus
    minimised
    • Irrigation process starts and stops exactly when required, thus optimising
    energy requirements
    Automated Irrigation System for Farmers

    • The saving of money depends on how many


    pumps you have and how many times per
    week you are watering but in general it can
    save you water and time and that equals
    money. Using this system you cut back on
    travel time to pumps and dams, you save
    money on fuel and also wear and tear on your
    vehicle. 
    Things you didn’t know about automatic watering systems

    • Irrigation is an important process in any farming,


    and because of this reason, ‘computerization’ first
    came into the irrigation system before anything in
    agriculture. Plants need water, and there is no
    surprise about this fact. But what makes the
    difference was the understanding that there is a
    specific time when they need it. Irrigating plants
    during the peak requirement window ensured a
    high return in yield, and this knowledge was the
    basis of the automatic watering system.
    • An ‘automatic watering system’ is a computer/timer-based
    water supply for crops which minimizes human
    intervention to just supervision. All water delivery systems
    like drip, surface, or sprinklers can be automated. There are
    various benefits for automation where the major one is
    reducing labor cost in exchange for an efficient water
    supply system. Usually the automation is installed by an
    engineer after assessing the field length, weather, micro-
    climate, humidity, soil properties and water requirement by
    the crops for efficient watering of plants.
    • The automatic watering systems undoubtedly is helping the
    farmers conserve water, thereby improving society. In any
    irrigation system, the prime motive will be to use the water
    most efficiently and that’s precisely what has been done
    here by automatic watering systems
    Working
    • When the soil moisture sensor detects less water
    in the soil, the water will be pumped from the
    pump in the soil.
