Smart Irrigation Systems using Wireless Sensor networks

Objective

Built a simple automatic irrigation system using Arduino UNO board.

Accomplishments

• The system monitors the moisture content in the soil.
• In case, the moisture level in the soil drops below a certain level, the motor pump is turned on.
• The soil moisture sensor has two conductive probes. Basically, it measures the dielectric permittivity of the surrounding medium (dielectric constant=soil’s ability to transmit electricity).

Results

Got selected for the State-level competition “Awishkar” to represent our college.
