PROTECTION OF CROP AND PROPER USAGE OF RAIN WATER USING WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK

Telecommunication engineering

Agriculture is regarded as backbone of a country’s economy. During heavy rain falls, the Farmers face lots of problem as their cultivated crops get washed off or destroyed and in times of less or no rainfall the crops may not get adequate amount of water. The farmers grow crops which are totally dependent on the weather and natural conditions. Due to the changeable atmospheric conditions which may vary from place to place in large farmstead, which makes extremely difficult to maintain the constancy at all the places in the farmstead manually. So to address these problems this project is proposed which helps in protecting the crops from heavy rainfall and saving rainwater for later usage. The saved water can be used for feeding animals, washing, cooking etc. and can also be reused to sprinkle it back to the field when needed. In this system an automatic roof is inculcated which works by taking the signals from the rainfall detectors and soil moisture sensors and then covers the whole field to protect it from heavy rains. And in times of less rainfall the saved rainwater can be sprinkled on crops by measuring the dryness of land through moisture sensors.
