The Indian economy is based on agriculture - about 70% of its population
depends on agriculture and it contributes to 1/3rd of the national income.
Therefore Automation of farm activities can transform agricultural
domain from being manual and static to intelligent and dynamic leading
to higher production with lesser human supervision. This project
proposes an automated irrigation system which monitors and maintains
the desired soil moisture content via automatic watering. Microcontroller
PIC16F877A is used to implement the control unit. The setup uses soil
moisture sensors which measure the exact moisture level in soil. This
value enables the system to use appropriate quantity of water which
avoids over/under irrigation, Temperature sensor LM35 is used to
measure the temperature of the farm and Water level sensor is used
to indicates water level of the tank. IOT is used to keep the farmers
updated about the status of sprinklers. Information from the sensors is
regularly updated on a webpage using ESP8266 through which a farmer
can check whether the water sprinklers are ON/OFF at any given time.
Also, the sensor readings are transmitted to a Thing speak channel to
generate graphs for analysis.
