Project Summary

The Internet of Things (IoT) based irrigation system proposed above can be beneficial with low maintenance and can be installed at low cost. It can reduce the wastage of water which can help Pakistan to minimize the risk of water crises in future.  It can be useful on both small and large lands where water scarcity is a major problem. It is an effective idea which can provide feasible results. It is most beneficial for farmers they can utilize this irrigation system to increase their growth of crops and profit.

Project Objectives

1.) Growth of agriculture effectively and efficiently.

2.) Reduce the wastage of water and other resources

3.) Introduce new technology to farmers

Project Implementation Method

Raspberry Pi is being used as a heart of the system which incorporates number of enhancements and new features which are improved by increase of connectivity, more power consumption and greater IO which made it small, powerful and lightweight ARM based computer. The relay has only zero volts or 3.3V so it cannot be drive by raspberry pi directly and in this case it uses a driver circuit which provides 12V amplitude to drive the relay. The soil moisture sensor and temperature sensor are connected to the raspberry pi board which provides output in form of electric signals. Raspberry Pi receive the output and if the soil moisture value is reaching above the level of moisture level then the induction motor will be turned off automatically, However if the moisture level is low then the motor will be turned on automatically through the relay. Light dependent resistor is used to control the light automatically so we can know the situation of the farm at night also. By default system will work in automatic mode, working is based on threshold value. Raspberry Pi will initialize the system. The water level sensor frequently checks for the water level of the motor. The soil moisture sensor checks the soil moisture level frequently. The USB camera can be installed with Raspberry Pi connected with wireless network which will provide the complete view of the farm field. The temperature sensor will keep a check on the temperature and humidity and it will update the data on the server. If the water level is below the limit value the relay connected to the Raspberry Pi will automatically turn on the motor and if the soil needs water, the motor connected to the relay will be turned on automatically to provide sufficient water to the soil. Then the soil moisture sensor will keep a check and balance on the soil.

Benefits of the Project

1.) Farmers will be at ease by this new technology

2.) Farmers will be up-to-date about their crops 24/7 through an application.

3.) Alot of money and energy will be saved.

4.) Limted and accurate amount of resources will be applied.
