Smart Irrigation System Using Arduino and GSM Module

Abstract

The steady increasing requirement for food requires rapid development in food production technology. There is a wide range of crops and plants with different varieties. Various crops and plants have different requirements for water, fertilizers and sunlight. In a country like India, much of the economy is based on agriculture. India thrives on agriculture and farmers work day and night for the best productivity of crops. But they might be having problems in farming during natural hazards and the scheduled watering of the crops can get hampered. The main reason is lack of rain and shortcoming of land reservoir water. The continuous water removal results in the reduction of water from the earth's surface. As a result this leads to the increase of uncultivated land. Water wastage is also a big concern that the world faces. Nowadays water shortage is increasing day by day as a result saving water is also a topic of concern nowadays. Therefore smart irrigation system has been proposed and designed so that the plants or crops can be supplied with water in a proper time interval.
