Solar Irrigation

The work has been introduced in the West Bengal Accelerated Development of Minor Irrigation Project to enhance agricultural production of small and marginal farmers in the project area under the supervision of the DPMU, Barasat. Solar power is being used for driving irrigation pumps(5 HP). All the field installations are equipped with remote data acquisition system for collecting various parameters and acquiring data centrally in the web server through wireless GPRS. All instantaneous field data can be observed through this website. The server is also used to provide historical data. This facilitates remote observation and analysis of all such solar irrigation installations over different places of West Bengal.
