 UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF MOIZ, THE TEAM SUCCESSFULLY
COMPLETED THE AUTOMATIC PLANT WATERING SYSTEM
 PROJECT. MASHOOD EXCELLED IN HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT,
KHIZER IN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT, AND HASEEB IN
PROTOTYPING AND TESTING.
 THEIR COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS RESULTED IN A FULLY
FUNCTIONAL SYSTEM THAT EFFECTIVELY MONITORS SOIL
MOISTURE LEVELS AND PROVIDES PLANTS WITH ADEQUATE
HYDRATION.
 OBJECTIVE

• WE CAN CONTROL THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE SOIL

OF CULTIVATED LAND. ACCORDING TO SOIL MOISTURE,
WATER PUMPING MOTOR TURNED ON OR OFF VIA THE
RELAY AUTOMATICALLY. THIS SAVES WATER, WHILE THE
WATER LEVEL CAN BE OBTAINED IN A PREFERRED ASPECT
OF THE PLANT, THEREBY INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY OF
CROPS
 COMPONENTS USED

• JUMPER WIRES
• POWER SUPPLY 9V
• RELAY 5V
• WATER PUMP 5V

 ARDUINO CODE
• INT WATER; //RANDOM VARIABLE
• VOID SETUP() {
• PINMODE(3,OUTPUT); //OUTPUT PIN FOR RELAY BOARD, THIS WILL SENT SIGNAL TO THE RELAY
• PINMODE(6,INPUT); //INPUT PIN COMING FROM SOIL SENSOR
• }
• VOID LOOP() {
• WATER = DIGITALREAD(6); // READING THE COMING SIGNAL FROM THE SOIL SENSOR
• IF(WATER == HIGH) // IF WATER LEVEL IS FULL THEN CUT THE RELAY
• {
• DIGITALWRITE(3,LOW); // LOW IS TO CUT THE RELAY
• }
• ELSE
• {
• DIGITALWRITE(3,HIGH); //HIGH TO CONTINUE PROVING SIGNAL AND WATER SUPPLY

 WORKING
 THE SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR IS OF VARIABLE RESISTANCE. THIS MEANS
ITS RESISTANCE VARIES PER THE CONDUCTIVITY CHANGES BETWEEN
ITS TWO SENSOR RODS. WHEN THESE RODS ARE INSERTED INTO THE
SOIL, THEIR CONDUCTIVITY CHANGES AS PER THE SOIL'S MOISTURE
CONTENT. IF THE SOIL IS DRY, THE CONDUCTIVITY IS LESS (AND THE
RESISTANCE IS HIGH). ON THE OTHER HAND, IF THE SOIL IS QUITE
MOIST, THE CONDUCTIVITY IS HIGH (AND THE RESISTANCE IS LOW). SO,
THE SENSOR'S RESISTANCE CHANGES FROM HIGH TO LOW, OR "MAX" TO
"MIN," AS PER THE SOIL'S MOISTURE (AN INVERSE PROPORTIONALITY).
THIS CHANGE IN RESISTANCE IS CONVERTED INTO AN ANALOG
VOLTAGE OUTPUT AND AS THE SOIL'S MOISTURE INCREASES, THE
ANALOG OUTPUT VOLTAGE DECREASES, AND VICE VERSA.
 WORKING (CONT..)

• THE SENSOR'S OUTPUT VOLTAGE IS GIVEN TO ARDUINO AS AN ANALOG

INPUT. THE ARDUINO BOARD WILL THEN CONVERT IT INTO A DIGITAL
VALUE AND MEASURE THE SOIL'S MOISTURE LEVEL (FROM 0 TO 100%). IF
THE MOISTURE LEVEL IS LESS THAN THE SET THRESHOLD LEVEL (SAY, 10
OR 20% ), IT WILL SWITCH ON THE RELAY THROUGH THE TRANSISTOR,
TURNING ON THE PUMP. AS THE PUMP FLOWS, THE SOIL BEGINS TO
MOISTEN. ARDUINO WILL CONTINUOUSLY READ THE SOIL'S MOISTURE
LEVEL FROM BOTH SENSORS. WHEN A SET MOISTURE LEVEL IS REACHED
(SAY, 90 OR 95%) IN BOTH OF THE SENSOR RODS, ARDUINO WILL SWITCH
OFF THE RELAY, WHICH TURNS OFF THE PUMP. THIS CYCLE IS CONTINUOUS
SO THE PLANT IS WATERED WHEN ITS SOIL BECOMES DRY.

 COST OF MATERIALS

• ARDUINO UNO • 1450 RS

• SOIL MOISTURE SENSOR • 180 RS
• RELY • 150 RS
• WATER PUMP • 500 RS
• JUMPER WIRES • 100 RS
• POWER SUPPLY • 300 RS
 ADVANTAGES

• SAVE TIME: THIS SYSTEM WILL DO ALL THE WATERING FOR

YOU
• . SAVE WATER: AN AUTOMATIC SYSTEM USES LESS WATER
THAN WATERING BY HAND
• . SAVE MONEY: YOUR WATER BILLS WILL BE LOWER AND
YOUR PLANTS WILL LIVE LONGER.
• REST EASY: ASSURANCE OF QUALITY, VALUE, AND
PERFORMANCE.
 APPLICATIONS

• IRRIGATION IN FIELDS
• IRRIGATION IN GARDENS, PARKS ETC
• EFFICIENT FOR PADDY, RICE FIELDS ETC
• PISCICULTURE
 CONCLUSIONS

• BY MEANS OF THIS SYSTEM, IT IS POSSIBLE TO CONTROL

THE AMOUNT OF WATER RELEASED FROM THE PROCESS OF
WATERING THE PLANT. THIS SYSTEM AUTOMATION IS
DESIGNED TO BE ASSISTIVE FOR THE UNIVERSITY PARK.
ALTHOUGH IT CAN BE VERY HELPFUL FOR HUMANITY IN
GENERAL, AGRICULTURISTS, CRAFTSMEN, AND BOTANISTS
COULD HAVE THE BIGGEST BENEFIT OF USING THIS
SYSTEM.
