Smart water tank for sustainable irrigation / Mohamad Nadzrin Norisam, Muhammad Ridhwan Afiq Sunsuki and Nur ‘Amira Hamid

The plant's development, germination, and productivity are all influenced by water. Water availability for irrigation has become increasingly vital as agricultural production has increased to fulfil global food demand. Previously, conventional agriculture was the most common method among farmers due to its great productivity in generating the product. However, over the last decade, traditional farming practices have been replaced with more sustainable ones. This is because, despite their high production, traditional practices can harm the environment and generate social disturbance. In terms of generating high-quality products without polluting the environment, sustainable agriculture is now playing a key role in the agricultural industry. One of the sustainable agriculture practices is to use rainfall as a source of water for irrigating crops. It's because it recycles rainwater and reuses it for agricultural purposes. At the same time, it has the potential to shift the use of clean water to more expensive treated water. One of the choices and productive strategies for storing rainwater for irrigating the crop is to use a rainwater collecting tank as a storage tank
