Abstract
Access to consistent water and energy is a challenge to farmers worldwide. Being able to find a consistent and reliable energy source for an established water supply is a gap that is being filled thanks to innovations in farming technology. This abstract explores the effectiveness for utilizing a water pump for crop irrigation. The study includes factors such as water source, construction, and pump efficiency. Through meticulous calculations, the research has found the feasibility of a solar pump to be bright. With the data showing solar power to be a viable power source, this pump should produce a solid return on investment coupled with excellent water output.
