Smart Irrigation System Using Bluetooth Module And Arduino

Computer Engineering

Agriculture is the back bone of Indian Economy. India ranks among top five countries globally in producing almost 80 percent of farm products as output. About half of the Indian population depend on agriculture sector to meet their day-to-day expenses. The current system being employed for irrigation purpose in India includes Sprinkler irrigation, Tank water irrigation, Inundation irrigation system etc; These methods are not efficient enough to cater to the moisture requirement of the soil and to efficiently make use of water resource. In future, as population increases, demand for food crops increases which eventually results in depending on water resource on a large scale. Currently, India requires technological upgradation to meet the demand for irrigation purpose. The smart irrigation system enables efficient utilization of water as soil is constantly monitored with the help of moisture sensor and based on the readings crop is irrigated with the help of motor. This is done using the IOT technology. Main ideology behind this project is to reduce human intervention and efficiently make use of water. This is made possible by sending the received data to the android device using Bluetooth technology using Bluetooth module. The entire System is controlled and executed by Arduino Uno Board microcontroller.
