INTELLIGENT CONTROL OF CAPILLARY

IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR WATER-SAVING

CULTIVATION
ABSTRACT:

An embedded system is a special-purpose computer system designed to perform a dedicated

function. Unlike a general-purpose computer, such as a personal computer, an embedded system
performs one or few pre-defined tasks, usually with very specific requirements. Since the system
is dedicated to specific tasks, design engineers can optimize it, reducing the size and cost of the
product.

In the paper, in order to monitor the water level, moisture and temperature of the agricultural
field, we keep an water level sensor, soil moisture sensor and temperature sensor. These sensors
will continuously monitor the field conditions. The status of the sensors will be continuously sent
to the owner of the field through IOT. The IOT is also used to receive signal from the owner to
control the water pump motor. Through the signal he will switch on or switch off the motor.

EXISTING SYSTEM:

In the existing system there is no preventive measure to save the agricultural fields. During
summer season the water in the field easily drain out. If necessary action is not taken in right
time then it will lead to death of the crops. So the farmers suffer a huge money loss. And the
water pump motor is controlled manually. So human error occurs.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

In the proposed system, we are going to use the microcontroller to monitor the
irrigation field using the soil moisture, water level sensor by microcontroller and displayed in the
LCD. In case of any abnormalities in the soil moisture and water level sensor is transmitted
through IOT and it will display through LCD. The corresponding person should give proper
commands to the system in order to operate the pump motor securely. Whenever the temperature
is detected above the threshold, then the values are updated with the help of IOT module.
