Smart Irrigation System using Arduino Uno

Abstract

The basic principle of the project is that the soil moisture sensor obtains the moisture content
level of the soil sample. If the moisture content is low then the water pump is automatically
turned on which results in flow of water in the soil. The time at which the moisture content is
sufficiently high, the water pump is automatically turned off. IoT encompasses many new
intelligent concepts for using in the near future such as smart home, smart city, smart
transportation, and smart farming. This system is aimed towards the farmers in order to reduce
manual labour and increase productivity. In this paper we present water flow monitoring and
controlling system which uses a soil moisture sensor to monitor and control the soil moisture
content, and water level of the land for monitoring and controlling the amount of water being
given to the plant. There is also an automated led lighting system present in the sy
