ARDUINO BASED AUTOMATIC

PLANT WATERING SYSTEM

 INTRODUCTION

• Whenever we go out of town for few days, we always used to worry about our plants as they need water on regular basis. So here we

are making Automatic Plant Irrigation System using Arduino, which automatically provides water to your plants and keep you updated

by sending message to your cell phone.

• In This Plant Watering System, Soil Moisture Sensor checks the moisture level in the soil and if moisture level is low then Arduino

switches On a water pump to provide water to the plant. Water pump gets automatically off when system finds enough moisture in the

soil. Whenever system switched On or off the pump, a message is sent to the user via GSM module, updating the status of water pump

and soil moisture. This system is very useful in Farms, gardens, home etc. This system is completely automated and there is no need for

any human intervention.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS

• We wanted to create a system using Arduino to measure the moisture levels of multiple plants and to
effeciently deliver water to them.
REQUIRED PARTS

• Arduino
• Soil Moisture Sensor x4
• Single channel relay module
• Dc water motor
• 9v Battery
• Connecting wires
WHAT IS ARDUINO?
• The Arduino board can be programmed to do anything by simply programming the microcontroller on
board using a set of instructions for which, the Arduino board consists of a USB plug to communicate with
your computer and a bunch of connection sockets that can be wired to external devices like motors, LEDs
etc.
• The aim of Arduino is to introduce the world of electronics to people who have small to no experience in
electronics like hobbyists, designers, artists etc.
• Arduino is based on open source electronics project i.e. all the design specifications, schematics, software
are available openly to all the users. Hence, Arduino boards can bought from vendors as they are
commercially available or else you can make your own board by if you wish i.e. you can download the
schematic from Arduino’s official website, buy all the components as per the design specification,
assemble all the components, and make your own board.
MOISTURE SENSOR

• Uses two probes to pass current through the soil

and then reads the resistance to get the
moisture level.
• Power: 3.3 V or 5 V
• Output voltage signal: 0-4.2 V
• Current: 35 mA
ARDUINO AND SHIELD
PUMP DRIVERS

• Provides up to 2 A each for the two connected pumps

• Controlled by switching high and low states on a pin on the Arduino
PUMPS

• Draw 1.76 A and between 3 to 9 V

RESULT
Automated irrigation system optimizes the usage of water by reducing wastage of water.
This project can able to contribute towards socio-economic development of the nation. It has
fast response and system is user friendly. The primary application of this project is for formers
and gardeners who do not have sufficient time to water their crops or plants regularly. This
project also covers an application for formers who are wasting water unknowingly during
irrigation. The main objective of this smart irrigation system is to make it more innovative, user
friendly, time saving and more efficient than the existing system.
FUTURE SCOPE
• This smart irrigation system extends watering time for plants, and provides ideal growth condition. It
saves time and timer delay as per the environmental condition can be added for automatic watering.
This smart irrigation system can be adjusted and modified according to the changing environment.
• This automated Smart Irrigation System using arduino is found to be cost-effective for enhancing the
techniques to preserve water resources and to optimize them for agriculture production. This system
helps the farmer by working automatically and smartly. With placing multiple sensors in the soil, water
can be only provided to the required piece of land. This system requires less maintenance so it is easily
affordable by all farmers. This system helps to reduce water consumption.
• With using this system the crop production increases to a great extent. As per future perspective, this
system can be the more intelligent system which predicts user actions, nutrient level of the plants, time
to harvest, etc. With using Machine Learning algorithms more advancements can be done in the future
which will help farmer a lot and water consumption can also be reduced in agriculture.
