Introduction

The document describes a smart irrigation system that uses an Arduino and soil moisture sensors to automatically water plants based on soil moisture levels. The system operates by detecting moisture content, sending data to the Arduino, and activating a water pump when moisture is low. It includes components like a servo motor and a relay module, allowing for targeted watering of different crops based on their moisture needs.

SMART IRRIGATION

Introduction
 it is actually a precision automatic watering system for the plant which
automatically waters the plant without your engagement with the
system.

 this is made up of Arduino which can easily make by nontechnical


persons also so it is the Arduino irrigation system this system is used in
gardens and farms widely.

 The working of the soil moisture sensor is very easy to


understand. It has 2 probes with exposed contacts that act like
a variable

 resistor whose resistance varies according to the water content in


the soil. This resistance is inversely proportional to the soil
moisture which means that higher water in the soil means better
conductivity and hence a lower resistance. While the lower water
in the soil means poor conductivity and will result in higher
resistance. The sensor produces an analog voltage output
according to the resistance.

Smart irrigation system Components


required
 Arduino Uno
 Servo motor
 Soil moisture sensor
 mini water pump
 jumper wires.
 Relay module
 Breadboard

How does smart irrigation work?


As we are using a soil moisture sensor that,

 senses the moisture content in the soil.


 send this data to the Arduino that we are using.
 Soil moisture sensors can send data in both. in analog as well as
in digital.
 so, we are using the analog data here to get the accuracy in the
project.
 we insert the soil moisture sensor in the soil and connect it to the
Arduino and the sensor sends the data to the Arduino about the
moisture inside the soil.
 it makes the smart irrigation controller. the Arduino will get
the action on the data.
according to the condition given in the program. if the soil moisture
sensor detects no moisture or very little moisture then the pump will
get started and water the plants.

I would like to mention too that this is an advanced version of the


smart irrigation system which recognizes the less moisture-contained
soil in various fields.

 the water pipe is connected to the servo motor which rotates


according to the requirement.
 if there are two crops A & B. and if A has less amount of moisture,
then the servo motor rotates toward crop A.

 and starts the watering and when it will fill up it will rotate
towards crop B. this is one more benefit of this project.
we took a soil moisture sensor that can detect the Moisture in the soil.

 Soil moisture sensor gives some an incentive to the


microcontroller which we use in the framework for directions.
 for instance, Soil moisture gives the worth 0 to 1023.
 so, you can align the sensor as your soil condition. yet, on the
advanced yield of the sensor
 you cannot align the sensor by the code as indicated by the Soil
moisture.
 there is a potentiometer to adjust the sensor. for more precision
utilize simple sensors. The keen smart irrigation system
framework is useful for a conclusive year venture.
In the wake of adjusting the sensor, I found that the cut-off value is
970.

at this worth, the moisture level is exceptionally low in the dirt. that is
to say, on the off chance that the Soil moisture sensor detects the
worth more than 970, at that point the water pump is on.

what’s more, if the sensor detects the worth under 970 the water
pump will stop. in this way, align your sensor
