Components of Smart Micro Irrigation System

Pumping Station

In a micro-irrigation system, the pumping station lifts water from a river or reservoir and pumps it through pipelines to agricultural land. The pump maintains sufficient pressure for water delivery, ensuring even distribution to fields.

Water Distribution

The system involves a network of pipelines spread across the project area for regulated delivery. The mainline, sub-mainline, and lateral pipes transport water to specific locations, ensuring precise, efficient supply and minimizing wastage.

OMS (Outlet Management System)

Automated control systems regulate water flow and distribution remotely using sensors, valves, and RTU controllers. It enhances efficiency, reduces manual work, and supports sustainable water management in agriculture.

Remote Communication & SCADA

Enables real-time data exchange to monitor and control irrigation remotely. SCADA allows farmers to track irrigation status, adjust water flow, and manage field conditions, ensuring responsive and efficient irrigation.
