Abstract:
The growing needs of man and the increasing population of earth causes the scarcity of water.
This greatly affects the plants, and the requirement water management is high. Water use has
been growing globally at more than twice the rate of population increases in the last century, and
an increasing number of regions are reaching the limit at which water services can be sustainably
delivered, especially in arid regions. In the present scenario the conventional methods of
watering, like flood mode and sprinkler, is not that much effective and is responsible for water
wastage. Improper watering systems create breeding areas for disease spreading organisms.
Hence, the way watering pants must be smart, and this is achieved by watering plants depending
on the necessity of plants and the moisture level of water. This project deals with an automated
plant watering system that senses the moisture content of the soil thus determining the necessity
of pumping water with the collected data. Also determines the minimum amount of water
required to maintain the balance between the soil defensible water and environment parameters.
