How to Automate Irrigation

To water your crops like clockwork in the desert, in the tropics, in minus temperatures and in a greenhouse, you will need

1. A source of water:
   Natural or man made reservoir
   Lake
   River
   Redirected rivulet
   Seasonally opened valves
   Rainwater collection
   Pond
   Grid pipes
   Create plateaus to retain water
   Direct water from
   Trenches to accumulate, hold, direct and drain water
   Well.
2. Direct the flow of water
   With concrete, stones, different dimensions of metal and plastic pipe, tubing, hose and lay flat.
3. Water filtration
   Sand, filtration layers, water filters to remove suspended matter.
4. Valves, pressure controllers, sensors, monitors, iot, ai, actuators
   To open and close water supply, maintain pressure in pipes, sense humidity, dryness, water levels, rain adjustment, readily read data and make decisions, automate decision making with machine learning, and activate levers at distance to mechanize agriculture.
   

Types of irrigation for each climate 

Arid	Tropical	Temperate	Arctic	Controlled
Drip	Gun Sprinkler	Sprinkler	sprinkler	boom logistic on rails
Micro spray	Pivot	moving pivot	keep water liquid	deep water culture
High pressure sprinkler	Drip	canal rice field		nft channels
Overhead pivot	Reservoir	micro		bato bucket
Canals	Heap to retain	underground		micro spray
greenhouse cooling	valve	Borehole		drip tubes
	greenhouse cooling	Frost protection		delicate spray
		warm water unheated polytunnel		glasshouse
		orangerie		plastics greenhouse
		season extension		cold & hot weather
				permanent and seasonal crops & usage
				fertigation
				organic indoor growing
				integrated pest management
				Champignon

 

To build your automatic irrigation system

Connect water and nutrients fluid transport piping, filtration, manual and solenoid valves, automation measuring and dosage injectors, overhead watering large range high pressure sprinklers, pipe connectors, indoor and field micro spray and driplines.
