Implementation of Automated Water Pump for Irrigation Using IoT

ABSTRACT Water is the most essential factor for living. In this most competitive and commercial world the accessibility towards the available resources has also increased. As India is a developing country and the need for agricultural perspective has also increased. Most of the people in rural area mostly rely on agriculture for livelihood and this is carried out by the process of irrigation. So the main objective of this paper is to control the unnecessary wastage of water and to make efficient use of available water. This project basically aims at providing the feasible way to farmers to supply water to the crops where it will examine the requirement of water by using humidity sensor, temperature sensor and moisture sensor. Hence it provides automated mechanism which will analyze and decide whether to turn the water pump ON or OFF. The PIC microcontroller which is programmed is placed in the land in such a way that it will collect input signals of the moisture and temperature conditions of the land which keeps on changing via moisture and temperature sensors. The water pump is turned on whenever there is a need of water in the field. The data from the humidity sensor and temperature sensor is updated continuously on the web page and IoT based system. ZigBee modules are used for both transmitter and receiver side for communication. Keywords: IoT, PIC microcontroller, ZigBee module, Moisture sensor, Temperature sensor, Humidity sensor
