Abstract
The expansion of agriculture to secure the
necessary food is linked to the availability of irrigation water. However, the
limited sources of irrigation water necessitate the search for new technologies
to reduce the loss of this water. This study aims to design a program for a
smart irrigation system powered by solar energy that is environmentally
friendly and cheap. This system can be applied to irrigation. Drip irrigation
and its impact on the amounts of water used in irrigation, as the application
of this program, is part of the solution to the problem of water shortage that
Libya suffers from, in addition to reducing the amounts of water that is wasted
during the irrigation of agricultural crops. In this study, a network of smart
irrigation systems was designed. The smart irrigation system senses the soil
moisture content through humidity sensors and works to turn on or stop the
water pumps using relays to implement this procedure. The main advantage of
using this irrigation system is to reduce human intervention and ensure proper
irrigation. The microcontroller is the main unit for the entire irrigation
system. Photovoltaic cells provide solar energy as a power supply to supply the
entire system. The system is controlled by the microcontroller. Once the
microcontroller obtains data from the sensors, it compares the data as
pre-programmed, generating signals. Output and activate the relays to operate
the pumps to start the irrigation process.
