Implementation of Effective Water Harvesting and Management System for Agriculture

Abstract

Development of any country is purely based on its economic growth. The economy growth majorly depends on the development in agriculture sector. Innovative water harvesting and management is one of the main factors involved in the development of agriculture. This work is an attempt to implement efficient water management system for rural area. The system includes air compressor, gate valves and microcontroller based controlling panel boards with communication facilities for monitoring. The designed setup is efficient and provides better results in harvesting more amounts of water (14.23% higher than existing methods), reducing man power and time consumption. Comparison shown that this semi-automated water management is more efficient than the existing method followed for water management.
