Arduino Uno

Voltage Regulator LM317

5v Relay

Water Pump

16x2 LCD Display

Soil Moisture Sensor

 Working Principle
In this plant watering system, Soil moisture
sensor checks the moisture level in the soil
and if moisture level is low then a water
pump is switched on to provide water to
the crops. Water pump gets switched off
automatically when the system finds
enough moisture in the soil. A threshold
moisture level is defined which is
compared to the input by the soil moisture
sensor. This threshold can be modified with
switches.

 Merits and Demerits
Merits:
 Highly sensitive, Low cost and
reliable circuit. Works
according to the soil type.
 Complete elimination of
manpower.
 System can be switched into
manual mode whenever
required.
Demerits:
 This is applicable for only large
farms.
 Has limited life after installation
due to the deterioration of the
plastic component in hot, arid
climate and when exposed to
ultraviolet light.
 Why this Project?
• Farming accounts for 70 percent of the water consumed and most of its wasteful use,
said representatives of 130 nations at the World Water Forum discussing water
management.
• The former prime minister of France said, "There are great problems with irrigation. So
we must persuade farmers to go to less extensive crops. This works, but in a narrow
way. As we can see increasing population thrusts up the demand for food, using
extensive crops might be a solution to consume less water but cannot meet
consumption demand.

• So one of the apt solution to this is more efficient irrigation systems. Despite raising
food, they are the ones who go hungry.

• So greater efficiency would in turn free up some money for farmers to afford regular
commodities for their livelihood.

So we decided to make an affordable and efficient irrigation system.
