Solar Power based Automated Irrigation System

Abstract: Automatic solar power irrigation system, an advanced form of solar irrigation system consists of an automatic control to ON and OFF the control valves which aids the farmers by governing the supply of water to the irrigation lands. It also sustains the moisture level of soil that results in better yield. This proposed system employs soil sensor to detect the water quantity present in agricultural field. This system is based on Audrino, and aims at reducing the water usage. In regular practice, Watering of crops is the most significant practice and arduous task. Irrespective of the climatic conditions, the proposed system would be able to control the water that reaches the farm plants. This system could be effectively used to water the plants based on the demand. Installation of automatic plant watering system requires combination of sprinkler systems, pipes and nozzles.
