IOT BASED IRRIGATION SYSTEM

Project Title

IOT BASED IRRIGATION SYSTEM

Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary

The project concludes that automation of irrigation system will become easy and comfortable for farmers to operate the irrigation at remote location i.e. from home. This will save time and avoid problem of continuous vigilance. Not only this, it will also control the consumption of water for the irrigation of the field, thus preventing the water wastage and would help in sustain the productivity, increasing the yield.

Project Objectives

The Irrigation System Using IoT Technology is used in automating the total irrigation system which provide adequate water required by crop by monitoring the moisture of soil and climate condition in order to prevent the wastage of water resource.This approach is for the advancement of irrigation process by automatic method without manpower by measuring various parameters related to the field and thus improves irrigation.

Project Implementation Method

In the Irrigation system IoT is implemented, in this system all the information that are received from the sensors and the various parameters are given as an analog input. A preset value of soil moisture sensor is fixed in microcontroller and also for fencing.When it goes beyond the particular threshold value water is automatically irrigated to the crops and once the required amount of water is fulfilled it stops.

Benefits of the Project

IOT based irrigation systems offer a variety of advantages over traditional irrigation systems. IOT based irrigation systems can optimize water levels based on things such as soil moisture and weather predictions.  This is done with wireless moisture sensors that communicate with the smart irrigation controls and help inform the system whether or not the landscape is in need of water. Additionally, the smart irrigation system receives local weather data that can help it determine when a landscape should be watered.  If you have ever returned home during a storm only to see your sprinklers spraying water you know how beneficial this is.  Rather than wasting water resources and your valuable money on watering your landscape you can take advantage of the nature moisture from the storm and save that water for another day when it is more needed.  The advantages of these smart irrigation systems are wide reaching.

The smart irrigation system will help you have better control of your landscape and irrigation needs as well as peace of mind that the smart system can make decisions independently if you are away.  You will save a significant amount of money on your water bills because through intelligent control and automation, your smart irrigation system will optimize resources so that everything gets what it needs without needless waste.  Additionally, we have all seen many places in the country that have experienced droughts and we know that our water resources are precious.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The proposed system comprises of Respberry pi 4(2GB), Respberry pi camera, Dht22, Water pump, Battery. This system is a combination of hardware and software components. The hardware part consists sensor like soil moisture sensor, whereas the software part consists of an android based application connected to the arduino board and other hardware components using Internet of Things (IoT). The android based application consists of signals and a database in which readings are displayed from sensors and are inserted using the hardware. The improvement in irrigation system using wireless network is a solution to achieve water conservation as well as improvement in irrigation process. This system tries to automate the process of irrigation on the farmland by monitoring the soil water level of the soil relative to the plant being cultivated and the adaptively sprinkling water to simulate the effect of rainfall.
