Design of Automatic Irrigation System using Arduino and IoT

Abstract

This project aims to aid the farmers in regulating their farms as they may not be able to keep an eye on them and moisten round the clock, so this renders such feasibility from their own residences. This proposed system also provides ease in their daily life. This is made possible by using Sensor Technology, IoT, Cloud memory and GSM module as a subsidiary in case the farmer fails to connect to the server. Initially the sensor acquires the information regarding the levels of soil moisture, then processed through arduino which is later stored in cloud memory. Farmer can retrieve this information and can perform actuations like switching on the motor as per the level of water required on his farm.  Because of this automation, optimum utilisation of resources is achieved.
