The desire of man to be in control of everything around him in recent times is born out of the rapid development of smart technologies as everything now depends on the internet. Irrigation system is also becoming smart by using modern technologies, which is more advantageous than traditional irrigation methods. In this work, a smart irrigation system is developed that automates the irrigation process powered by solar energy. This proposed system can optimize the use of water based on different data, such as soil moisture level, weather prediction, and soil temperature. A soil moisture sensor that utilizes IoT technology will be inserted into the farmland to detect the moisture level and then notify the farmer about the current condition of the soil through a developed mobile application. Furthermore, the system can automatically turn ON the motor pump from the mobile app to irrigate the farm when the moisture level and soil temperature are below 50% and will automatically turn OFF the pump after fulfilling the demand of the soil when the moisture level and temperature is above 75%. The whole proposed system is controlled by a microcontroller and a DC power is generated from the solar panel which helps to keep the system working at any time of the day. All these features will make the irrigation system much smarter, more economical, and more eco-friendly. In conclusion, this system is recommended for use by farmers who lives in areas with low access to constant water supply. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
