Automated Irrigation System for Efficient and Portable Farming

The practise of farming has endured significant transformation as technology advances every day. The constraints of area and nonlinear nature of climatic conditions, polyhouse kind of concepts are increasing, which is helpful in production of flowers, vegetables and fruits. The proposed work discusses such an automated irrigation system that highlights the optimum solution for the efficient use of water and electricity for agricultural purposes. Field survey and literature shows that the existing systems are available with two solutions, one is timer-based and another one is moisture-based automization. Moreover, the timer-based system has demerits like being semi-automated i.e., timer needs to be changed manually according to climate. Similarly, in moisture-based systems, reliability is the issue. Therefore, the main objectives of the proposed work are to overcome the demerits of the present systems by integrating both the systems, to develop a fully automated irrigation system, to manage the use of water, electricity, and to add a remote controlling system. The report includes algorithm for the integration of moisture and timer-based system which provides the optimum efficiency on the water use and the use of solenoidal valve.
