Title: Development of a Renewable Energy-based Irrigation System
Abstract:
This research project aims to develop a renewable energy-based irrigation system that addresses the challenges associated with traditional fossil fuel-based irrigation systems. The utilization of renewable energy sources for powering irrigation systems not only promotes sustainability but also offers several economic and environmental benefits. This study explores the technical feasibility, economic viability, and environmental impacts of renewable energy-based irrigation systems. Various renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydro power are evaluated for their suitability in fulfilling the energy requirements of irrigation systems. The study also examines the potential barriers and opportunities for the widespread adoption of such systems and proposes recommendations for their successful implementation.
