SYNOPSIS: SMART WATERING SYSTEM Page 1

Aim:
Smart Watering System.

Objective:
To reduce the amount of water for irrigation purpose or watering plants by using this arduino
based system which uses soil moisture sensor to water plants.

Introduction:
India is the country of villages and agriculture plays an important role for development of
country. In our country, agriculture depends on the monsoons which has insufficient source of
water. So the smart watering system can be used in agricultural field.This System is used to
reduce the amount of water according to need of plants.This system uses the moisture level to
water the plants automatically.It is a mini project or we can say that a prototype of a Smart
Watering System,it can also be used for large area by implementing more sensors and other
hardware equipments.

During summers, most people are too lazy to water the potted plants on their rooftop gardens
every day. Explained in this section is a simple and exciting automatic plant watering system that
you can build yourself in just a few hours. It is an Arduino based automatic plant watering
system that uses a soil moisture sensor that is attatched with a motor pump.In Arduino UNO
board a code is uploaded that shows us about the moisture level readings.A motor pump and
moisture sensor is attached with a board.If the moisture readings are negative it will
automatically sprinkle water according to the moisture.After the soil gets wet,it automatically
stops. The purpose of our smart water irrigation system is to provide a water delivering schedule
to the plants to ensure all the plants get enough water for their healthy growth, to reduce the
amount of water wasted in irrigation, and to minimize the economic cost for the users.

Project Modules:
This System has a single modue.It works only with three hardware equipments(Arduino UNO
board,Soil Moisture Sensor,Motor Pump).Basic computer knowledge is required and a little bit
of coding to use this system.

• Upload the code to the Arduino using Arduino IDE.

• Connect Soil Moisture Sensor to Arduino Board.
• Connect Motor to Arduino Board.
• After connecting compi

The system will work automatically according to the coding and moisture level readings.
SYNOPSIS: SMART WATERING SYSTEM Page 2

System Specification:

1.Its Saves the time through automation

2.Conserve water for the environment
3.Save money on unnecessary water costs
4.Keep your plants healthy for longer
5.It makes maintaining yard easy and convenient
6.Minimize the economic cost for the users

Plan Of Work:

This system require only basic hardware equipments(Arduino UNO Board,Soil Moisture
Sensor,Motor Pump,Jumper Wires,Cable(to connect arduino board with laptop),Laptop or PC.

Step 1: Connect soil moisture sensor with arduino board with the help of jumper wires.

Step 2:Connect a motor pump(3V-6V) with arduino board with the help of jumper wires.

Strep 3:Connect arduino board with a laptop or PC with the help of cable.

Step 4: After connecting board check that arduino board is working or not by checking the board
name and port no. of board in Tool Option.

Step 5:Now check the arduino board by simply checking the LED in running or not by executing
a simple blink program that is pre installed in Arduino IDE.

Step 6: Now write code for your system and upload it to the board.
Note:(basic knowledge of C is required must).

Step 7:Put motor in some source of water and connect a small pipe with that motor.

Step 8:Dig the soil moisture sensor in soil,if the moisture level is negative the water
automatically comes out.After the moisture level becomes postive(when soil is enough
wet) then water automatically stops coming out.

Testing:

1.Testing is done by digging the soil moisture sensor into the soil after putting the water pump to
some source of water.
2.Then check if the water comes out when the soil is dry and also check it automatically stops
when soil becomes enough wet.It automatically stops according to the moisture readings.
