Smart Irrigation System

Irrigation system in India has given a high priority in economic development. Many new concepts are being developed to allow agricultural automation to flourish and deliver its full potential. The project irrigation control is designed to tackle the problems of agricultural sector regarding irrigation system with available water resources. Prolonged periods of dry climatic conditions due to fluctuation in annual precipitation, may appreciably reduce the yield of the cultivation. The expenses in establishing many of these crops and their relative intolerance to drought make an effective irrigation system a necessity for profitable enterprises.
Solar energy has emerged as viable source of renewable energy over the past few decades and is now used for various applications such as emergency lighting, water heaters, and industrial application. It is a cheap source of energy. Unlike hydroelectricity it does not cause national or any conflicts because sun is the only renewable source which is available to everyone. This paper proposes a solar based automatic irrigation system.
In this project we are using, Moisture sensors and water pumping motor. A submersible motor will get switched ON /OFF depending on the soil moisture condition.
