Problem: Sudden climate fluctuations agricultural loss, and water management.
Irrigation and water supply to the farms are concerning the world due to its high water demand. The amount of water required for irrigation in a certain area is dependent mainly on the type of the soil ( which is constant ), and the weather. However, as the weather is constantly changing, the amount of water required per area is changing as well. Current solutions like weather stations guarantee only real-time measurements which do not give time to the farmer to take any efficient step which limits its benefits. It also works only on large farms only. the solution is an integrated system of sensors and motors driven by a mobile application or primary user interface unit which suits the customers' background.
the inputs for the system will be in the form of real-time numerical measurements from the sensors embedded in the farm in addition to the data collected from the open-source forecasting libraries. the data collected will be utilized in order to conclude the water required using an algorithm. the algorithms used will correlate the data from the forecasting libraries and the sensors measurements to generate studied anticipation of the weather the next few days to help the farmer take wise actions. either by automatically managing the irrigations system or guiding the farmer to do it.
According to the conducted secondary research, customers were classified into 4 types based on the technical abilities of the farm, the users' background, and the size of the farm. the four types are 1) largely developed farms
2)small developed farms
3)large not developed farms
4)small not developed farms
Each type of these users has a unique action. In the large developed farms, the output of the irrigation systems will be used to set the value of the water to be sprinkled by the autonomous sprinklers. These sprinklers will be driven, monitored and moderated by the application that will be provided with the irrigation system. The mobile application will also allow the user to continuously be in touch with the system.
In the small developed farms, the output of the system will be in the form of numerical values which denotes the amount of water required in the farm. this guides the farmer to manually irrigate the land efficiently. The farmer will use the mobile application as a source of information and a guide unlike its role in the preceding type.
In the large not so developed farms, the process of irrigation will be similar to the large developed farms ( manual ). However, the mobile application will be replaced by a control unit with simple visual outputs that guide the user with a simple instruction to manually control the farm.
in the small not developed farms, the process will be similar to the small developed farms except that the farmer will use the simple control unit instead of the mobile application.
