Currently, irrigation is essential for the development of various agricultural crops. In the past, it was not possible to produce food in many regions of the world due to the lack of rainfall during certain times of the year. Today, irrigation has changed this scenario, allowing for year-round cultivation. However, many farmers do not have the technical knowledge to manage this practice correctly. As a result, they irrigate empirically and end up harming the soil and crops, wasting water and electricity. Given the current water scarcity, it is essential that water is used consciously and precisely. As a result, a low-cost automated irrigation system was developed to help farmers optimize water use in agricultural practices. This prototype was installed in a state school (CEPARD) in the city of Lagarto, SE, with the goal of irrigating a vegetable garden cultivated by high school students as part of an elective course.
