Abstract:
According to our research, many hectares of arable land, of irrigated land, and many rivers with important fishery resources of which less than 10 thousand hectares are exploited in the village of Nyalubemba. Beacause there are Lack of monitoring and automation, the absence of automated irrigation systems may lead to inconsistent watering or missed irrigation events, use traditional practice and diseases spread due to poor irrigation management.
The purpose of smart farming system is to optimize water conservartion, to enable farmers with technology, to increased crop field and cost-effictiveness by using sensors, data analysis and automation. Smart farming improves plant health by delivering the right amount of water at right time based on factors like soil moisture level, weather condition and plant needs. Traditionaly it was done manually.
There are some methods we used to gather data in order to understand the former system and implement this new one; Qualitative data collection with observation were used gather data of the former system; Waterfall model fits us to implement the project and structured system analysis and design methodology gave us steps to accomplish project’s objectives.
After all, the system is such as an improvement of the former techniques in watering plants. It is providing efficient results and increase income. We recommend farmers of Nyalubemba to use this system as well as for other farmers or researchers to think more on evolving this one.
