Abstract

Currently Uzbekistan has widely adopted drip irrigation systems on large-scale agricultural lands (1-100 hectares or more), and smaller plots cultivated by households and individuals for essential food production often lack this technology. To address this disparity, a novel mobile drip irrigation system incorporating photovoltaic panels has been engineered. This integrated solution is self-sufficient, requiring no external power source, and offers versatility suitable for both rural and urban settings. Its mobility allows for easy deployment on small plots (up to 1 hectare) commonly used for household gardens, suburban areas, and greenhouses. The integration of photovoltaic panel complexes with low-pressure mobile drip irrigation systems holds significant potential for ensuring a dependable water supply to agricultural crops. This innovative technology is particularly well-suited for regions facing water scarcity, such as Uzbekistan, Central Asia, and other arid zones globally, enabling sustainable agriculture practices even in the context of climate change.
