Abstract
The need for effective irrigation has grown as a result of the growing demand for sustainable agriculture, especially in organic greenhouses. Traditional irrigation techniques in the Mekong Coastal Region frequently result in energy inefficiency and water waste. In order to increase irrigation efficiency and meet the demand for precision watering, this study integrates solar-powered zonal sensor systems. The goal is to create a cutting-edge system that minimizes energy use and maximizes water use. Real-time data was gathered using capacitive moisture sensors and WeMos Arduino MEGA to operate solar-powered pumps that modify water distribution according to soil moisture levels. By eliminating the need for external energy sources, the system increased water efficiency and reduced consumption by 30% when compared to traditional methods, which helped to save money and promote sustainability. This study provides a scalable model for other areas dealing with comparable issues and shows how solar-powered, sensor-based irrigation systems can revolutionize organic farming in the Mekong Coastal Region.
