Irrigation System Research Paper

ABSTRACT

As India is an agro based nation development in agriculture can lead in country's development. The project aims at controlling the flow of water for irrigation at a farm by so far the methodologies adopted involves manpower for irrigating the crops with controlled water flow. The project eliminates the manpower required for controlling the water flow for irrigation. The irrigation will be carried out using the GSM module i.e. crops can be irrigated from a remote place ensuring controlled water flow in a farm.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 INRODUCTION:

Irrigation system is used which water is supplied to plants at regular intervals for farming. And also, maintenance of landscapes, and revegetation of disturbed soils in dry areas and

In an Automated Irrigation System using GSM, the most significant advantage is that water is supplied only when the humidity goes below a preset threshold value. This saves us a lot of water. 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. Water deficiency deteriorates plants growth before visible wilting occurs. In addition to this slowed growth rate, lighter weight fruit follows water deficiency.

This problem can be perfectly rectified if we use Automated Irrigation System in which the irrigation will take place only when there will be intense requirement of water, as suggested by the humidity sensors and we easily GSM module through operate irrigation

It is used to assist in the growing of agricultural crops, maintenance of landscapes, and revegetation of disturbed soils in dry areas and during periods of inadequate rainfall.

Various types of irrigation techniques differ in how the water obtained from the source is distributed within the field. In general, the goal is to supply the entire field uniformly with water, so that each plant has the amount of water it needs, neither too much nor too little.

The natural or artificial removal of surface and sub-surface water from a given area. G. K. Banerjee and Rahul Singhal proposed a method using microcontroller for the control of temperature and relative humidity inside a polyhouse. In the proposed method, the greenhouse controller senses the change in temperature and relative humidity with the help of input sensors and process the output to take appropriate control action. The proposed system is a low cost and user friendly system with high stability and reliability. And N. Dinesh Kumar, S. Pramod & CH Sravani proposed a method for the farmers have been using manual control techniques for irrigation. Land is irrigated only at the regular intervals/seasons. In this process, few plants in the zone receive more water and for few other zone plants water reaches late due to which the crops get
