AN INTELLIGENT AGRICULTURE WATER IRRIGATION SYSTEM

Abstract : An automatic irrigation system is developed to optimize water use for agricultural crops. The system consists soil moisture sensor and temperature senor placed in the soil. The system consist water Level sensor which will indicate the presence of water level in the water source. By comparing the signal from the sensors with threshold value the data from GSM is transmitted /received from/to mobile using software application or normal texting mode which optimizes the use of water quantity information’s are visually displayed by using LCD Display.

 EXISTING SYSTEM :

 M. C. Rodríguez-Sánchez, S. Borromeo, and J. A. Hernández-Tamames,(2011) “Wireless sensor networks for conservation and monitoring cultural assets”, IEEE Sensors J., vol. 11, no. 6, pp. 1382–1389. Implemented via Internet. Man power Required to monitor the agriculture field. Based on the two conditions the cost of design is high. Motor can be controlled [ON/OFF] via manual operation. Motor can be controlled [ON/OFF] via WIFI.

 DISADVANTAGE :

  From the literature survey, it is observed when using remote control sensing problem may arise while using zigBee Bluetooth the area of coverage is limited in existing system the usage of zigBee will cover small distance of area. for Particular distance only we can use zigBee In using remote control,sensing problem will arise with the sensors. Another way of using GPRS we have to connect internet , that leads to data loss. But in our project we use GSM for sending sms and control automatically or manually without any data loss.

 PROPOSED SYSTEM :

 The soil moisture sensor and temperature sensor and Float sensors are monitoring the agriculture field. Then this data sent to the microcontroller unit. It displays through the LCD. The value of the sensor range can be observed by the user in two ways. One is automatic mode and manual which is done through GSM. In manual mode, the user can control the motor when it is need to turn ON. Thus our project is designed for low cost automatizing of irrigation system in a smart way.

 ADVANTAGE :

 PIC microcontroller is interfaced with soil moisture sensor, water level sensor, GSM, LCD, Temperature sensor and water pump. First initialize GSM and wait until it obtains the network. The green light indicates GSM is ON and red light indicates the network strength. Once it obtains complete network there will be delay in blinking of red light. Then initialize LCD, it will display all the statements given in code such as title, and the status of field regarding pump and tank storage.
