AUTOMATED WATERING SYSTEM IN URBAN FARMING USING ARDUINO

Planting different kinds of flowers and plants as a hobby of other Filipino people in the Philippines but
not only in the Philippines but around the different countries. However, sometimes we are busy in our
daily lives due to works, personal problem. We are not able to check or have time to water and monitor
the crops and plants inside our garden. Due to the unpredictable weather, it is too difficult to control
the environment inside our garden due to the high relative humidity and ambient temperature. To deal
with this issue the agriculturalists and gardeners build an irrigation system, a device that checks the
temperature and the moisture of the soil inside the garden. This research Automatic plant watering
system, which is considered as one of the most commonly used and the most beneficial automated
systems nowadays, which help people in their daily activities by reducing or completely replacing their
effort.

The related literature of my study is as follows:

1.) The Automated Watering System brings a change to the management of the maintenance of the
crops and plats where we can monitor the moisture, temperature and we can operate if the
plants need to be watered by the Automated Watering system. By using our Gadgets to
operates the said system.
2.) Similar research was conducted in an Italian tomato greenhouse in the South by Mancuso et al.
[3]. With a wireless sensor network, they are measuring the air temperature, relative humidity,
and soil temperature using Sens cast devices. They have also created a Web-based plant
monitoring program. Greenhouse growers can examine the readings online, and if some
measurement variable changes quickly, an alarm will be delivered to his mobile phone by SMS
or GPRS. A bridge node collects information from other sensor nodes that broadcast
temperature and relative humidity readings at intervals of one minute.
