1. Description of the Project
1.1 Introduction
Perfect irrigation is an important feature for growing healthy crops. As
India is a country where agriculture is one of the source of economy, irrigation has to be smart
and advanced. As we are stepping into a world of automation, the work load of the farmers can
be reduced by formulating an automated system for maintaining a requisite supply of water. So
this automated system has been devised to take care of the daily-watering schedule of the
crops. This system will be used for every crop with different moisture levels per-programmed in
the arduino. Here, arduion UNO R3 has been programmed to sense the moisture of the soil.
1.2 Aim & Objectives
Aim: To construct an IOT based Smart irrigation system.
Objectives:
a. To construct the circuit as per the requirements.
b. To study Arduino Uno AT Mega 328 microcontroller & GSM module SIM
900A.
c. To understand the working of moisture sensor.
d. To understand the working of Smart irrigation system.
e.To improve and stabilize the crop yields of small holder olive farmers
through the implementation of sustainable irrigation systems.
f.To promote water management practices optimizes the volume and timing
of water distribution.
g. To maintain the soil fertility.
h.To generate positive economy consequences for farmers and their families.

1.4 Results
This system is developed for a typical type of crop as a specific level of
moisture is programmed in the Arduino and we can change the moisture level
in the program as per the requirement of the soil .Red soil consists of less
moisture content and hence it absorbs water quickly. Black soil keeps
moisture for longer time, so it requires less water and its absorption level is
slower than the red soil.
1.5 Conclusion
This project has been made in order to reduce the work load of the farmers
and increase the efficiency of the irrigation process. With the help of this system.
As the moisture level of the soil is reduced below the required level the water
pump will be „ON‟ automatically.

4.1 Working of the Project
The whole circuit has been constructed keeping accuracy, time saving and cost in mind. The
whole system is automated. The moisture sensor reads the moisture of the soil and sends the
data to the microcontroller, which is the Arduino here. The feasible moisture level/range, of the
concerned crop is preprogrammed in the Arduino. As soon as the Arduino receives data, from
the moisture sensor, outside the normal level/range, the Arduino sends SMS alert to the owner
of the crop, with the help of the GSM module. After the alert, the Arduino, with the help of the
relay module, switches on the first pump, which is constructed here by a DC motor, and
supplies the crop water until the reading from the moisture sensor reaches the normal
level/range.
The moisture sensor always checks the moisture of the soil. So the moment, the moisture of
the soil lowers, the system operates. As a result, the crop will always get water supply when
needed. Furthermore suppose the farmer doesn‟t want to irrigate the crop at the current
moment. Our system has another facility of manually over riding where the arduino on receiving
the string “NO” from the GSM module exits the loop and the system is stopped. The entire
process continues every 5 minutes.
