AUTOMATIC PLANT WATERING SYSTEM

ELECTRONICS

An adequate water supply is important for plant growth. When rainfall is not sufficient, the plants need additional water. We know that people do not pour the water on to the plants in their gardens when they go to vacation or often forget to water plants. As a result, there is a chance to get the plants damaged. The project I have undertaken is “Arduino Based Automatic Plant Watering System”. This project is taken up as India is an agriculture oriented country and the rate at which water resources are depleting is a dangerous threat hence there is a need of smart and efficient way of irrigation. In this project I have implemented sensors which detect the humidity in the soil (agricultural field) and supply water to the field which has water requirement. The project is microcontroller based design which controls the water supply and the field to be irrigated. There are sensors present in each field which are not activated till water is present on the field. Once the field gets dry sensors sense the requirement till the sensors is deactivated again. In case when here is more than one signal for water requirement then the microcontroller will prioritize the first received signal and irrigate the fields accordingly.
