 B. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
1. Rationale The continuous increase of demand of the food necessities with the
growing population calls for an improvement with the food production
process in the country. Since, agricultural fields are always in need of
adequate supply of water. They always depend on the water level of the
soil to sustain the growth of their crops. Numerous irrigation systems
are proposed to reduce the dependency of rain of the farmers. But these
systems are mostly powered by electricity and manually ON/OFF
schedule systems. With the farmers manually handle the control over
the irrigation system through observation, proper and accurate water
level is not ensured in the fields. For this purpose, automatic plant
irrigation system is designed using moisture sensor and solar energy.

1.1. Statement of the The primordial purpose of the study is to construct a solar-powered
Problem automatic irrigation system at Brgy. Sapa, Naic, Cavite to ensure the
proper level of water for growing up plants.

Specifically, the researchers aim the following:

1. Design and devise an automatic solar-powered irrigation system

at Brgy. Sapa, Naic, Cavite;
2. Evaluate the efficiency of the design in terms of:
a) Power loss; and
b) Household power output;
3. Conduct a cost analysis of the design in terms of:
a) Construction cost; and
b) Operation and maintenance cost

1.2. Significance The primordial purpose of the study is to construct a solar-powered

automatic irrigation system at Brgy. Sapa, Naic, Cavite to ensure the
proper level of water for growing up plants. The proponents of this
research also aim to convey a better understanding of what the study is
all about.

Specifically, the data presented in this study would be beneficial to the

following:

Professionals. This study will benefit those who are working in the
field of electrical industry. This will help them gain new knowledge
and information or deepen their understanding about the
Underground Power line distribution system.

Students. This study is beneficial for students who are taking up

courses related to electricity. This will feed them with new
knowledge and ideas in their chosen track.

This study will also benefit future researchers… benefits those

who wish to continue this research or conduct a related study. The
 B. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
data presented in this study will serve them as additional
information or as a guide in their study.

1.3. Time and Place of The study will take place at the Brgy. Sapa, Naic, Cavite wherein the
the Study proponents shall analyze the current irrigation system of the locale to
come up with the appropriate design of the Solar powered irrigation
system.

1.4. Scope and Discuss in the coverage of the study and describe its boundaries
Limitations (delimitations). In stating the limitations, discuss the aspects in which
the study is weak or limited, thus, were no longer tackled.

2. Expected Output Briefly describe the potential technology or information that will be
the product/result of the research. Any product of the research that
comes in the form of information that can be published, or technology
that can be transferred or protected under the IP laws can be included.

3. Expected Briefly describe the possible changes in behavior, preferences,

Outcomes perspective or paradigm, systems or processes, beliefs, and the like that
can be introduced upon conduct of the research.
