3. ABSTRACT
An automation system makes an efficient use of the
electricity and water and reduces much of the wastage.
 In small areas, where watering plants at regular interval
matters, the proposed irrigation system will be very
efficient.
The project presents the automatic system based on
Raspberry pi, Arduino microcontrollers, and relay boards
to water plants..
 This project contributes an efficient and fairly cheap
automatic irrigation system.

4. INTRODUCTION
In the world of advance electronics, life of human being should be
simpler hence to make more simpler and convenient, we have made
“AUTOMATIC IRRIGATION SYSTEM”.
The model shows the advanced mechanism of water motor using
sensors from any part of field by sensing the moisture present in the
soil.
Arduino is used for controlling whole the process for these
Automatic plant watering system.

5. PROBLEM STATEMENT
TO IDENTIFY THE DRAWBACKS IN EXISTING IRRIGATION
SYSTEM.
TO IMPROVE AND STABILIZE THE CROP YIELDS OF SMALL
HOLDER FARMERS.
MONITOR THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE SOIL USING SOIL
MOISTURE SENSOR.
TO MINIMIZE YEAR TO YEAR YEILD FLUCTUATION, LEADING TO
HIGHER AND MORE STABLE FARM INCOME.
TO PROVIDE UP TO DATE INFORMATION OF THE FARM.

6. PROPOSED SYSTEM
 A simplified temperature and humidity monitoring system with
least number of components, and less complexity has been
developed.
 The proposed system was tested and found stable, highly
reliable and easy to use, and can be widely use in various areas
of automatic monitoring of environmental parameters.
 The main advantage of this system is that it is less expensive
and one time investment. It can be used effectively in
agriculture areas .

10. MERITS
Water distribution is highly uniform.
Labour cost is less than other irrigation methods.
Fertilization can easily be included with minimal waste of fertilizers.
Consumption of water is reduced to an significant amount.
Automation eliminates the manual operation of opening or closing valves.
Possibility to change frequency of irrigation and fertigation processes and to
optimise these processes.
Adoption of advanced crop systems and new technologies, especially new crop
systems that are complex and difficult to operate manually.

11. CONCLUSION
A simplified temperature and humidity monitoring system with
least number of components, and less complexity has been
developed.
The system is compact and cost effective when compared to
prices of instruments used to measure parameters.
The main advantage of this system is that it is less expensive
and one time investment. It can be used effectively in
healthcare, agriculture, storage areas etc.

12. FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION
Using IOT platforms, the sensed data can be monitored online
not only remotely and also provide for pump theft detection.

There is a possibility to check for water level in tank so that the
pump does not run dry and get damaged.
We can also add more sensors like CO2 sensor, make it smart
irrigation with crop monitoring. We can also check for pests
affecting the crops.
