The system, which can work automatically without human intervention, also ensures that plants grow healthy. The students showcased the system in Hall 1 of the Expand North Star exhibition, which is part of Gitex Global, the world’s largest gathering of technology companies and startups.
“All these settings can be controlled through a smart app. This can be applied to any farm and is also quite economical,” Hamad and Dawood told Khaleej Times at the exhibition.
The system is divided into four sections. First, an irrigation system provides the soil with sensors that measure the amount of water in the soil. If the soil is dry, the system automatically activates the pump and waters the plants through irrigation pipes. Once the ground gets wet, the pump stops automatically.
