Automatic Drip-Irrigation And Security System By Using Raspberry-Pi

Abstract

Indian agriculture is dependent on the monsoons which is not a reliable source of water. Irrigation is a well-established procedure on many farms and is practiced on various levels around the world. Irrigation system provides water to the farms according to their soil types. This paper represents the prototype design of Raspberry Pi based on automatic drip irrigation and security system. It will allow irrigation to take place in zones where watering is required and security when there is any object present in the farm. A model of controlling irrigation and security facilities to help millions of a people. This model uses sensor technology with Raspberry Pi to make a smart switching device. The model shows basic switching mechanism of water motor using sensor from any part of field by sensing the moisture present in soil.
