Design and Development of Small-Scale Community-Based Solar-Powered Irrigation System

The project titled "Design and development of Community-Based Solar Powered Water Pump for Small Scale Irrigation" for enhancing agricultural productivity in Tigray region aims to address the need for sustainable and efficient irrigation practices in rural communities. The focus of this project is to design and develop a solar-powered water pump system that can cater to the irrigation requirements of small-scale farming in the target community. The project recognizes the importance of irrigation for small-scale farmers who often face challenges in accessing reliable and affordable water sources. By utilizing solar energy, a clean and renewable resource, the project seeks to provide an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution to meet the irrigation needs of these farmers. The design and development process of the community-based solar powered water pump will involve extensive research and analysis of the local conditions and requirements. Factors such as the water demand of the crops, the availability of solar radiation, and the specific needs and limitations of the community will be considered in the design phase. The project will also focus on developing a system that is easy to operate and maintain, ensuring that it can be effectively utilized by the community members.
