متن کاملAutomated rainfall manipulation system: a reliable and inexpensive tool for ecologists
Water availability is the major limiting factor of the functioning of deserts and grasslands and is going to be severely modified by climate change. Field manipulative experiments of precipitation represent the best way to explore cause-effect relationships between water availability and ecosystem functioning. However, there is a limited number of that type of studies because of logistic and co...
متن کاملThe Environmental Mitigation Potential of Photovoltaic-Powered Irrigation in the Production of South African Maize
Agriculture is under pressure to reduce its environmental impact. The use of renewable energy sources has potential to decrease these impacts. Maize is one of the most significant crops in South Africa and approximately 241,000 hectares are irrigated. This irrigation is most commonly powered by grid electricity generated using coal. However, South Africa has high solar irradiation, which could ...
متن کاملSolar Powered Irrigation System with Automatic Control of Pump and SMS Alert
Solar power is used as only the source of power to control the overall system. Sensors are placed on the paddy field and these sensors continuously sense the water content and give the message to the farmer. Without visiting the paddy fields, farmers can get the information about the Moisture content and farmer can control the pump set by sending a message from his cellular phone even from a re...
