Abstract

This study examines the technical and environmental feasibility of adopting smart agriculture technologies based on multi-irrigation systems in desert regions, through a proposed agricultural project in Adrar Province. It focuses on identifying the key parameters required to evaluate the applicability of these technologies under conditions of water scarcity and harsh climate. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach by developing a conceptual technical model that integrates smart sensors, such as ESP32 and soil moisture sensors, with cloud-based monitoring platforms. The findings show that the proposed system enables real-time and accurate monitoring of crop water needs, improves resource efficiency, and contributes to reducing water consumption. It also enhances the adaptability of agricultural systems to environmental constraints. The study concludes that these technologies represent a promising solution for improving agricultural sustainability and strengthening food security in desert areas.
