ABSTRACT

In India, agriculture in villages plays an essential role in developing the country.

Basically, agriculture depends on the monsoons which have not enough water
source. To overcome this problem, the irrigation system is employed in the field
of agriculture. The concept of this project is to allow the owners of fields to
control and observe the growth of their plants in their farms. This is achieved
by using a smart platform of IoT and solenoid valves to control the flow of
water based on the moisture of the soil and gives real time surveillance to the
owners who stay far away from the farms. This project also allows surveillance on
the personnel and their crops so as to not occur losses. It is easy to use for anyone
with a Smartphone and doesn’t require maintenance once set up.

SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS:

 EMBEDDED C
 SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR
 ARDUINO UNO
 RELAY
 GSM MODULE

ADVANTAGES:
This technology is an efficient automated irrigation systems and it is a valuable
tool for conserving water planning and irrigation scheduling which is extendable
to other similar agricultural crops. Moisture level of the soil is measured. So that,
we can provide water as per requirement of the soil .It prevents water clogging of
soil. Valves are controlled in our system. Therefore labour is not required for
valve controlling. The message is sent to users mobile so he can understand the
moisture level and user can handle the situation at distant location.
