Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis presents the design and implementation of an automated irrigation system for precision agriculture. The objective of this research is to develop a system that can optimize water usage in agriculture by providing precise and efficient irrigation based on real-time data and analysis. Chapter 1 introduces the background of the study, the problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definitions of key terms. Chapter 2 provides a comprehensive literature review on ten key aspects related to automated irrigation systems and precision agriculture. Chapter 3 details the research methodology, including system design, data collection methods, sensor integration, algorithm development, and system testing. Chapter 4 presents a thorough discussion of the findings, including system performance evaluation, data analysis, and comparison with traditional irrigation methods. Finally, Chapter 5 offers a summary of the project thesis, conclusions drawn from the research, implications for the agricultural industry, and recommendations for future work. The automated irrigation system developed in this research combines sensor technology, data analysis, and control systems to optimize water distribution in agricultural fields. By incorporating weather data, soil moisture levels, and crop requirements, the system can adjust irrigation schedules and amounts in real-time, leading to improved crop yield and water conservation. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of precision agriculture techniques in enhancing agricultural practices and sustainability. Overall, this thesis contributes to the field of agric and bioresources engineering by providing a practical solution for efficient irrigation management in precision agriculture. The results highlight the potential benefits of implementing automated systems in agricultural settings, including resource optimization, cost savings, and environmental sustainability. This research lays the foundation for further advancements in automated irrigation technology and its application in modern agricultural practices.
