Automatic Irrigation System on Sensing Soil Moisture Content
Abstract: AbstractIn developing countries like Bangladesh, farmers depend on rivers and rainfall to water their crops properly. Even though water pumps are used for irrigation purposes, the farmers have to operate those manually. In this paper, a system is proposed to reduce the human intervention as it will switch the motor on/off automatically after sensing the soil moisture content. Further system will allow the farmers to receive much needed rest and …

A Critical Evaluation of Mercury Contamination in Groundwater of Punjab
Abstract: Groundwater in Punjab State has been over-exploited for irrigation purposes during the last few decades. As a consequence, it has been contaminated with heavy metals including Mercury, which is highly toxic for human health. The permissible limit for Mercury in groundwater is 0.001 mg/L (1ppb). Mercury concentration in groundwater has been estimated using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) which is calibrated using a standard protocol. Ferozepur district in Punjab …
