Irrigation

Irrigation engineering involves managing water distribution for Irrigation purpose. WATMOV is expert in designing of Irrigation projects with complete solutions. An additional focus has been given on ‘appropriate & practical planning along with optimal use of power and cost.

Topographic Survey, Farmer land data collection, Chak planning, WUA planning, Pump station/ Source planning, Rising main Design,  Distribution Network design (DISNET/ PDN), Surge analysis, OMS (SCADA) planning, Micro Irrigation Design (Drip / Sprinkler / Center Pivot), etc. are the activities in any typical Irrigation Engineering projects in India.

In addition tender support to Contractor, DPR preparation, Estimation, Technical approvals, Civil & Structural design, Electrical design, I & C design, Project management, etc. are the activities carried out in Watmov. With the use of modern, effective, and Internationally accepted design software & tools the design is been carried out at Watmov. This allows us to have efficiency in the delivery timeline, quality, and cost of our services. We bring the international as well as multi-state local experience of multiple projects to improve our services day by day.

Activities

Automation & SCADA in Irrigation

Automation and SCADA is particularly helpful in small-scale and large-scale irrigation systems. Whether an
individual owns a single farm or has thousands of acres of crops for commercial use, an automated, remote-controlled
irrigation system using SCADA can save the owner from headaches, lost revenue, and broken equipment.

SCADA, or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, is a comprehensive communication and control system that can be
used in all types of industries.

How Is SCADA Used in Industrial Automation for Irrigation?

Many irrigation systems are vast and include hundreds of miles of pipes depending on the size of the operation. Some systems are located in sparsely populated areas that would take individuals hours to travel to for monitoring. Others are located in zones that see extreme temperature changes, leaving the system open to freezing or scorching temperatures and the costly problems that could ensue. Irrigation automation can get rid of these problems while freeing workers to focus on the real issues at hand.

SCADA technology can be used in many ways when it comes to an automated irrigation system.

• First, it can sense water levels in the soil and trigger irrigation or send a shut-off message to the system.
• Second, it can determine when freezing temperatures and frost can become a problem by calculating wet bulb temperature automatically. By watering crops before a frost, delicate plants can often be saved.
• Third, it can use delicate sensors to determine not only when to water but also how much water to use.

Benefits of SCADA for Irrigation Automation

• Remote-controlled irrigation systems using SCADA give owners numerous benefits that can translate into great savings in time and money for them. First, SCADA lets operators view and control all of their equipment at one time and in one place. Not only do they not have to travel from site to site, but also they do not have to log into a variety of different systems to get a real-time view of their irrigation systems.
• Second, SCADA helps irrigation managers solve any problems quickly by sending alarms and emergency notifications. Some problems are immediately addressed using pre-set directions. Others can be solved remotely using a programmable logic controller (PLC).
• Third, SCADA ensures that crops are kept healthy using the right amount of water at all times. Intricate systems reduce the possibility of under-watering or over-watering and can also eliminate fertilizer runoff.
