Today, we’re going to design and build a mobile irrigation system to help farmers conserve water. This system will move across a field and water crops only when needed, ensuring water is saved and crops stay healthy.

In real life, Irrigation Technicians are responsible for designing, installing, and maintaining these systems. They use advanced irrigation technologies to make sure water is used efficiently and crops get just the right amount of moisture.

There are many different types of irrigation systems, but our mobile prototype will look like this:

Forward Education's final mobile irrigation vehicle build as a 3D model.
