Abstract
Our nation is efficient enough to immensely utilize the electricity, yet not capable to meet its level of generation. This paper reveals an abstract idea of automatic irrigation system with simple design. This paper encourages the use of renewable resources like solar energy as the way of solving the crisis of energy. Irrigation plays a vital role in agriculture and it becomes more efficient without the interference of manual irrigation. The automatic irrigation can be done with the moisture content in the soil. A sensor which senses the moisture level and a microcontroller is vital for the technique of automatic irrigation. The moisture sensor can sense the water level in the soil and gives information to microcontroller. Based on the information from the sensor, the microcontroller will control the pump/motor. Solar system is often utilised to generate electricity even in remote areas, so it has wide scope of implementation as it has its possible ways to provide electricity.
