Automation of irrigation system through embedded computing technology

Abstract

Dearth of fresh water worldwide has given rise to solemn alarms since a decade. Economical administration of water resources plays a critical role when it is mainly with reference to the agriculture zone. Irrigation is generally functions along with canal plan by which water is pumped up into fields once at regular period of time according to farmers habitual ways without appropriate measurements with none feedback of water level in field. This kind of irrigation method will definitely hinder the crop growth and health and produces a poor yield as a result of some crops area component too susceptible to water content in soil. The ingenuous ICT technique presents an insolent system that uses minimum value soil wetness sensing element and temperature sensing element to manage facility in water shortage regions. The sensor, those vocations on the standard of moisture reliant resistance amendment between two points within the soil, is invented with the help of low cost materials and ways. Moisture and temperature knowledge is fetched from a sensing element node is distributed through an Arduino to a centralized server that controls facility. An automaton application is developed to envision the daily wetness and temperature knowledge. Moreover, the planned wetness sensing and temperature sensing ways have the power to be incorporated into machine-controlled which is automatic irrigation theme and perform automated, exactness agriculture in conjunction with de-centralized water management system. Application results illustrate that system through the embedded controlled technology which makes it complete intelligent irrigation, enhance the agricultural produce and improve soil health by irrigation, the water is used fruitfully and irrigation system automation is achieved mostly in all aspects.
