Designing a Central Control Unit and Soil Moisture Sensor Based Irrigation Water Pump System

In this report the authors describe the design of a central control unit and soil moisture sensor based automated irrigation system. This project aims to provide a user friendly, reliable and automated water pumping system which sorts out the problem of over irrigation and helps in irrigation water optimization and management. Our project not only tries to modernize the irrigation practices and ensure the optimum yield by carefully tailoring the requirements of each field or crop specifically, but also ensures that water is not unnecessarily wasted. The same system can be used for different crops having different thresholds by setting of the potentiometer.
