Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, The Technical University of Kenya, course: bachelor of philosophy in technology electrical and electronic engineering, language: English, abstract: This project is based on moisture sensor used to measure humidity content in the soil. The design portion involves mainly a global system for mobile communication and a control circuitry with a microcontroller. This project used some of the softwares like basic language for programming the application software to the microcontroller and visual basic for interfacing the hardware and mobile phone. Protel or workbench schematic software is used for designing the circuit diagram for this project and express prefabricated circuit board (PCB) software is used for designing. Since PCB making is a big process and involves a number of machineries which are expensive and was therefore outsourced. Using DTMF 8870 IC will act as an interface between the user and the system as it is a receiver which links the GSM network, the microcontroller pic16f73 contains the software which states the conditions of the system which can be displayed in a liquid crystal display and transmitted via mobile phone to the dual tone multiple frequency receiver which is part of the control system in the farm. New technologies help in increasing productivity with use of less manpower as well as conservation of water in the process.

Prepared by the Task Committee on Recent Advances in Canal Automation of the Irrigation Delivery and Drainage Systems Committee of the Irrigation and Drainage Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE Canal Automation for Irrigation Systems focuses on the technical aspects of modernizing irrigation systems through use of automated canal control systems. Canal automation has always offered an opportunity to save water and improve the efficiency of irrigation water supply projects or irrigation district operations. Recent technological and engineering advances now enable more accurate control of water deliveries throughout all parts of an irrigation project. Using information collected from irrigation systems around the world in conjunction with new advances in control theory research, this Manual of Practice examines how and when to implement canal automation within the context of canal modernization. Topics include: the modernization process, constraints, and concepts; survey of irrigation physical infrastructure; SCADA systems; control operation concepts; canal hydraulic properties; control methods; verification of controller performance; and implementation of control systems. MOP 131 is an essential reference for professionals in agricultural and irrigation engineering, as well as owners, managers, and operators of irrigation water delivery systems.
