Executive Summary
Automatically smart watering system. The system will automatically

water by the heating-sensor under a preset time.

Opportunity
Vietnam is a tropical country having high percentage of agriculture in the economy. Climate

conditions split from north to south and height, leading to agricultural products. Some species of temperate origin, can temperature often have low. Since then, the transportation consumption requires time and various other expenses, due favorable. shipping, storage etc.

diversity in the structure of only be produced where the of products to the place of to traffic conditions are not

So how can we grow those temperate crops in the plain because it will reduce costs for SWS is a viable solution to that question. Vietnam has a tropical climate with low

temperatures in the midlands and mountainous areas. That is the difficulty in cultivating the plant originated in the tropical lowlands. And smart irrigation system with automatic control mechanism, based on accurate temperature sensors and other intelligent design would help resolve obstacles.

Imagine those agricultural products that you only can use after they go through a

transportation process through kilometers white carriage, along with the cost of maintenance... but now they are grown where you live. This will help reduce production costs, to provide benefits to farmers and consumer. 4/19/12

Proposed Approach

The present situation of agriculture in Vietnam is backward, care of plant is handmade, and farmers still use primarily in the pump so it depends on the water when the dry season. Because caring work plant is handmade so performance is not high, using this method, plants will receive but not equal water together and will have spills on the track, which cause waste water. In the production, crops of tropical zone in Vietnam - a tropical country, the caring work is more difficult because in here, the temperature is different from temperate regions, farmers can only produce temperate crops in the winter-spring (Northern Vietnam) and the region's climate is typical of temperate climates, such as Sa Pa (Lao Cai), Da Lat (Lam Dong). But when making intelligent irrigation system into production, the problems will be produced simply:

- The system use rainy mode like rain so the water will take place over wide areas and saving water. Water will flow slowly the underground; the land will not be flushed and equally received. - The system also limits the loss of water and depends on water. Water will be stored in a tank containing water under the ground. When building the system, we plan to install a thin layer of concrete about 1 inch and put an underground drainage system. How does this system work like? We will put a special chip on the system to measure humidity from which the system will retain water when the humidity has not enough for soil in the plants water resistant or for drainage into the tank continuing to use the watering cycle. - The growing of temperate crops, after calculations, we have one way for watering is foggy mode to reduce temperature of surrounded atmosphere combined with rainy mode. Foggy mode will reduce outside temperature by installing the computer. Information about the temperature standards for the plant, we will provide on the website of the company to customers.

Commercialization
Installation testing process took place in six months with a short day

plant before being brought into universal use. On the other hand, risks bringing the loss, and investment costs, delay, time in use as the problems encountered in transportation, shortage of water in the place of installation should be built up water tank. Initial investment costs, maintenance repair teams as well as a small obstacle for farmers not included in the impact of co-operatives. But the payoff will rapidly recover, profits can grow to scale.

Impact
SWS are widely applied in the days growing vegetables, especially

vegetables and fruits of temperate zones. In large farms and food companies to help develop intensive farming reduces the fragmentation in agricultural production. As we all know, water is a precious resource, the introduction of SWS is a great invention to use reasonable and help save water and raise yield plant, reducing costs and labor; mechanized agricultural sector.

Prior Art
SWS is the most modern watering system in the world. This system

using smart temperature sensor with a highly competitive market with many advantages such as cheap, this system can saves more than 40% of water resources compared to conventional watering system. SWS do not make emissions and friendly with environment. SWS is considered profitable project.

Research Plan
1st month: Construction of water tanks, sewers, greenhouse. Install

equipment.
2nd month: First run, check system, fix the outstanding issues and then

conduct a plant short-day.

3rd, 4th and 5th month: To measure the data, compared to watering

system manually. Get the conclusions on water, labor costs.

6th month: Report research results. Wait for guidance.

Resources, Budget and Funding

SWS is a useful system for helping farmers save not only time but also money and

health.

SWS saving quantity of maximum water. That can save from three to five as times as

normally (depend on temperature of atmosphere). When install the system, the farmers can save many time to go out comfortably for a long time and dont need to care anything about the garden with automatic mode. affordable but also resistant for extreme compression well from the impact outside bend easily and unlimited length can be installed in deep ground depending on the plant as well. You can freely walk on it comfortable and assured of excellent quality of the product, especially water pipes made by 304 stainless steel that can withstand wet environment and humidity like underground for long time. extremely reasonable and reliable long-term are the goal which the project attends.

The system equipped smart pipe also known as COURART which is not only

The system only cost you about $5000 for an area of about 1 ha. The price
