A Solar Powered Irrigation System to Minimize Wastage of Water: A Bangladesh Perspective

Abstract

This study proposes a design of a solar powered irrigation system for Bangladeshi farmers. The algorithm implemented in the final system is the Fuzzy logic system. Furthermore, the farmers may always water their fields in an automated way according to the needs of the system and preserve water for their family needs by using this whole system which can improve the irrigation scenarios for Bangladesh's rural areas. The study has also shown that the Fuzzy Logic algorithm has faster calibration rate of 66.23% and water saving accuracy of around 61% greater than than the Average Logic. The study also demonstrate the fact that, compared to the system running in diesel pump, the system running in solar pump has higher value and save a lot of money in the long run.
