An EDS and IEEE SIGHT Partnership - Automated and Sustainable Drip Irrigation System in Rural Nicaragua
 
 
The project purpose was to implement an automated and sustainable drip irrigation system powered by solar energy and controlled by a microcontroller in La Paz, Carazo, Nicaragua. The local population benefited by the creation of a sustainable project to improve their agricultural production. A community shelter was established for volunteers to visit and develop outreach activities and projects. The project's aim to scale and replicate the good practices of community development was carried out by the IEEE EDS Nicaragua Chapter, IEEE SIGHT Nicaragua and local partners.
