Engineering Project

Drip Master

The mission of the Drip Master is to reduce water waste and increase crop yields in the agricultural industry by creating a precise automation mechanism for drip irrigation systems.

Our product proposes an innovative approach to conserve water by carefully measuring the amount of moisture in the soil, and activating precisely timed solenoid valves to keep the soil at its optimal moisture levels for the given corn crop to produce the max yield. In our prototype, we are proposing a solution for a farmer who grows corn crops, and this technology will decrease water utilization, and at the same time, it would help increase crop yield. Our product will also take into account the variability of water consumption based on the soil type, crop type, weather conditions, and stage of growth of the crop because these are all important influencing factors that contribute to the quality of corn production.
