Solar powered auto watering system for irrigation using embedded controller

摘要

In today's human life scenario both water and electricity are costly and scarce in supply. In the irrigation system, frequent watering of plants is needed based on the requirement. Sufficient watering is to be done to the plants for good growth of plants in the irrigation. The frequent monitoring of soil status is needed for good yield in the fields. The proposed model of Solar Powered Automatic watering system consists of Soil Moisture sensor which senses the Soil moisture condition, A Solar Powered Electric Motor which makes the water pump to pump the water and an Embedded Controller is used to achieve the automatic watering operation to the plants. The moisture in the soil is sensed and based on which the motor operation takes place. Working status of the electric motor is monitored using Bluetooth Connectivity and LCD display. This system is environment- friendly and cost effective.
