Pakistan being an agricultural country mainly depends on agriculture in economic development. Despite of that much importance, old methods of irrigation are used. The problem with manual or old method of irrigation is that there is loss of water most of the time. Similarly, sometimes excess amount of water can damage the crops. It is difficult to handle and manage it manually all the time. Our proposed system is to overcome this problem and implement a GSM based system for controlling and monitoring the flow of water from tube-well. The existing method and one of the oldest ways in agriculture is the manual method of checking the parameters. In this method the farmers they themselves verify all the parameters and calculate the readings. It focuses on developing devices and tools to manage, display and alert the users using the advantages of a wireless sensor network system . It aims at making agriculture smart using automation and GSM technologies . Some researchers proposed a fuzzy based system leading to smart farming for effective growth of agriculture. The objective of model is used to monitor farm for efficient utilization of water. The proposed model shows the significant utilization of water in irrigation and is beneficial for the limited water area. The highlighting features are smart GPS based remote controlled robot to perform tasks like weeding, spraying, moisture sensing, human detection and keeping vigilance. The cloud computing devices that can create a whole computing system from sensors to tools that observe data from agricultural field images and from human actors on the ground and accurately feed the data into the repositories along with the location as GPS coordinates . This idea proposes a novel methodology for smart farming by linking a smart sensing system and smart irrigator system through wireless communication technology . It proposes a low cost and efficient wireless sensor network technique to acquire the soil moisture and temperature from various location of farm and as per the need of crop controller to take the decision whether the irrigation is enabled or not . The Agriculture Parameters are utilizing an GSM Technology and system availability that draw in these objects to assemble and deal information. "The GSM enables things selected recognized or potentially forced remotely crosswise over completed the process of existing configuration, manufacture open gateways for all the additional obvious merge of the substantial earth into PC based frameworks, in addition to acknowledging overhauled capacity, precision and cash interconnected favoured stance. Precisely when IOT is extended with sensors and actuators, the improvement modify into an occasion of the all the extra wide category of electronic physical structures, which in like manner incorporates headways, for instance, clever grids, splendid homes, canny moving and smart urban groups . | | Project Objectives |
-
To monitor and control the tube-well by using GSM. -
To avoid wastage/ excess of water to the crops. -
To completely automates the tube-well system. -
Learn programing and working of microcontroller. -
To learn interfacing and different commands of GSM. -
To improve the efficiency of the product there by supporting both rancher and country we need to utilize the innovation which appraises the nature of harvest and giving recommendations. The Global system of Mobile (GSM) is revamping the agribusiness engaging the farmers by the broad assortment of techniques, for instance, accuracy and conservative cultivation to go up against challenges in the field. GSM advancement aids in social affair information on conditions like atmosphere, temperature and productivity of soil, harvest web watching engages area of weed, level of water, bug acknowledgment, animal interference in to the field, alter improvement, cultivation . GSM utilize farmers to get related with his residence from wherever and at whatever point. Remote sensor frameworks are used for checking the farm conditions and little scale controllers are used to control and robotize the property shapes -
.a. Use Of Wireless sensor Networks In Precision Agriculture -
The Agriculture has the advantage of giving continuous criticism on various distinctive yield and site factors. As its name suggests, Precision Agriculture is exact in both the extent of the product territory it screens and in addition in the conveyance measures of water, compost, and so forth. This innovation can separate a solitary plant for checking in the tens or several square feet. The WSN framework requires a brought together control unit with UI. Exactness Agriculture requires a novel programming model for each land territory, the characteristic soil write and the specific harvest or plants. For instance, every area will get its own particular ideal measure of water, compost and pesticide. It's by and large prescribed that information gathering be done on a hourly premise. Visit information gathering doesn't give extra helpful data to the product show and turns into a weight to the Wireless Sensor Network as far as power utilization and information transmission. Less continuous observing might be satisfactory for certain moderate development harvests and regions that have extremely steady, uniform atmosphere conditions. | | Project Implementation Method |
GSM (Global System for Mobile) is an emerging field having ample applications in almost every discipline, and renewable energy isn’t an exception. Solar energy: which is a sub-branch of renewable energy and GSM are both hot topics and are currently under research. Their coupling might be a nice move. This project will be the coupling of renewable energy with GSM. It will bring automation in the field of agriculture.  | | Benefits of the Project |

The block diagram is shown in Figure 1, as follows.  Figure 1 Block Diagram The main part of this system is the ARDUINO Microcontroller which controls the entire function of the circuit. It will sense the water level and water flow and will perform accordingly. The temperature, humidity and irradiance will also be sensed and the information will be collected by the microcontroller. There will be an LCD display which will show the information. Relay will also be used which is an electromagnetic switch that is used to turn on and turn off a circuit by a low power signal, or where several circuits must be controlled by one signal. If the conditions are corrected, the motor will be turned on and it will be showed on the display. This data will be sent to the owner through a message. The owner will look for the message. If a new message is detected, the tube-well will be turned on/off according to the information. | | Final Deliverable of the Project |
