Design and Implementation of GSM based Auto Irrigation System

Abstract

The motivation for this project came from the countries where economy is based on
agriculture and the climatic conditions lead to lack of rains and scarcity of water. The
farmers working in the farm lands are solely dependent on the rains and bore wells for
irrigation of the land. Even, if the farmland has a water-pump, manual intervention by
farmers is required to turn the pump ON/OFF whenever needed. In this project, we tried to
minimize this manual intervention by the farmer. In recent times, the farmers have been using
irrigation technique through the manual control in which the farmers irrigate the land at
regular intervals by turning the water-pump ON/OFF when required. This process sometimes
consumes more water and sometimes the water supply to the land is delayed due to which the
crops dry out. Therefore, in this project we use a GSM application which helps the farmer to
ON/OFF the motor without his physical presence in the field.
