Integrated Water and Energy Management System for Smart Agriculture

Agriculture in India faces significant challenges such as water scarcity, irregular rainfall, and increasing energy costs. Traditional irrigation methods often result in water wastage and high dependency on electricity. This paper presents an integrated smart agro-infrastructure system that combines rainwater harvesting, filtration, solar energy, and drip irrigation. The system collects rainwater using gravity flow, stores it in a tank, and filters it before use. A solar-powered pump distributes water through a drip irrigation network, ensuring efficient water utilization. Soil moisture sensors are incorporated to automate irrigation and prevent overwatering. The proposed system reduces manual effort, conserves water, and minimizes energy consumption. The experimental model demonstrates improved irrigation efficiency and sustainable farming practices. This approach provides a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution for modern agriculture.
