Automated Irrigation and Crop Prediction

Abstract

This project is based on a national issue, of shortage of water in the villages and the problem that exists in irrigation. The idea came from an interview of Hon. Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi who once addressed the issue of water supply to the crops,the basic idea being, the water supplied to the crops should be in adequate quantity such that there should not be any wastage of water. A solution to it is by designing a water supply system which will take into consideration the moisture level of the soil and dispense the water according to the need of the soil, which would not damage the crop and also water utilization won’t be excessive. Also, Selection of crops is an important issue for agriculture planning. This selection should depend upon various parameters of the soil such as the soil type, its texture, and the amount of nutrients present in the soil. It is very essential to ensure that the nutrients required by the crops are either already present in the soil or are added by the farmers in appropriate quantities.
