The Smart Irrigation Control System is an automated and efficient solution designed to optimize water usage in agricultural or garden environments. Traditional irrigation systems often lead to overwatering or underwatering, resulting in water wastage and reduced crop yield. This smart system uses soil moisture sensors, a microcontroller, and a relay-controlled water pump to deliver water only when necessary.
By continuously monitoring soil moisture levels, the system ensures crops get water when required, enhancing plant health and conserving resources. It reduces the need for manual intervention, making it ideal for farms, gardens, and remote agricultural applications.
The system uses a soil moisture sensor to detect the water content in the soil. The sensor sends analog signals to the Arduino Uno, which processes the data. If the soil moisture is below a predefined threshold, the Arduino activates a relay module to turn on the water pump.
Once the desired moisture level is reached, the Arduino deactivates the pump, stopping the irrigation. The current status (moisture level, pump ON/OFF) is displayed in real-time on an LCD display. The system runs continuously, making real-time decisions to maintain optimal soil moisture levels.
System Initialization:
The Arduino initializes the sensor, relay, and LCD display.
Soil Moisture Reading:
The soil moisture sensor measures the resistance of the soil and converts it into a moisture percentage.
Data Processing:
The Arduino compares the current moisture value with a predefined threshold.
Decision & Control:
If the moisture is low, the Arduino triggers the relay to turn on the water pump.
If the moisture is sufficient, the pump remains off.
Display & Monitoring:
The system displays real-time moisture readings and pump status on the LCD display.
Loop & Continuity:
This process runs in a loop to maintain consistent monitoring and irrigation control.
