ABSTRACT
Nigeria' is an agriculture based
country. Our ancient people completely depended on the agricultural harvesting.
Agriculture is a source of livelihood of majority Indians and has great impact
on the economy of the country. In dry areas or in case of inadequate rainfall,
irrigation becomes difficult. So, it needs to be automated for proper yield and
handled remotely for farmer safety. Increasing • energy costs and decreasing
water supplies point out the need for better water management. Irrigation
management is a complex decision making process to determine when and how much
water to apply to a growing crop to meet specific management objectives. If the
farmer is far From the agricultural land he will not be noticed of current
conditions. So, efficient water management plays an important role in the
irrigated agricultural cropping systems. A low cost alternative solution for
efficient water management currently in use is drip irrigation systems that
consist of an automated controller to turn on & offthe control values,
which in turn helps the farmers by managing the water supply to the crop fields
and further maintains the moisture levels of soil that helps in better crop
production. This project probes into the design of the automated'irrigation
system based on Arduino. This Embedded project is to design and develop a low
cost feature which is based on embedded platform for water irrigation system.
This project uses temperature and soil moisture sensors to detect the water
quantity present in agriculture. The project uses Arduino micro controller
which is controller to process the information. The aim of the implementation
was to demonstrate that the automatic irrigation can be used to reduce water
use.
