Study and design of an irrigation ramp

Abstract

Irrigation methods are essential for sustainable agriculture in the face of water scarcity. In Algeria, there are numerous irrigation systems, each with advantages and disadvantages that we explore in the document. Automated irrigation, especially in nurseries, is crucial for effective water management. Utilizing real-time data from sensors, these systems deliver precise water amounts, minimizing waste and optimizing plant growth. Creating our irrigation ramp involved using Arduino, an open-source electronics platform, along with sensors to build an automated setup. The synergy between Arduino and sensors enables the development of a smart irrigation system that autonomously adjusts plant watering in response to specific environmental conditions. The testing and calibration of our automatic irrigation system aimed to and successfully validated its precision in watering pots based on soil moisture levels. The entrepreneurial journey of transforming this technological innovation into a viable startup venture in Algeria's agricultural landscape was deeply examined via plenty economic studies.
