Modern agricultural irrigation projects techniques and methods
The techniques and methods of modern agricultural irrigation projects rely on the automated irrigation scheduling system (Smart Irrigation). This method uses moisture sensors to detect soil moisture and determine its water needs based on its moisture content. The system can also identify the seasonal irrigation needs of crops and select appropriate irrigation methods, water quantity, and quality. It studies the nature of the soil and its physical and biological properties for each agricultural project to save water and enhance soil fertility.
Modern agricultural irrigation projects equipment
In modern agricultural irrigation projects, programmed sprinkler and drip irrigation systems for greenhouses, self-irrigation and mobile irrigation equipment, comprehensive irrigation and fertilization control programs, specialized units for treating well water and irrigation water according to the project's needs, and solar-powered irrigation equipment are used.
