Abstract
India’s economy has long been rooted in agriculture, with the majority of its population relying on it for their livelihood. However, challenges such as erratic rainfall in dry regions pose significant obstacles to effective irrigation. To address this, there’s a growing need for automated irrigation systems that can remotely manage water distribution for optimal crop yield and farmer safety.
The increasing costs of energy and dwindling water supplies underscore the urgency for improved water management in agriculture. Effective irrigation management involves complex decision-making processes to determine the timing and quantity of water application, tailored to specific crop needs. Yet, in cases where farmers are distant from their fields, staying informed about current conditions becomes challenging. Drip irrigation systems have become a cost-effective solution for efficient water management. These systems incorporate automated controllers to regulate water flow, aiding farmers in maintaining optimal soil moisture levels for enhanced crop production. Acknowledging the significance of effective water management, this project explores the design of an automated irrigation system utilizing Arduino technology. By integrating temperature and soil moisture sensors, this project aims to accurately gauge water levels in agricultural settings. Leveraging the Arduino microcontroller, the system processes this information to automate irrigation processes effectively. Ultimately, the project seeks to demonstrate how automatic irrigation systems can mitigate water usage while enhancing agricultural productivity.
