ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to my Project guide Prof. Sudhakar Rao, HOD, EEE Dept and our Projcet Co-ordinator Prof.

Sudharani P as well as our principal Dr.N.Rana Pratap Reddy who gave me the golden opportunity to do this wonderful project on the topic

SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEM, which also helped me in doing a lot of Research and I came to know about so many new things. I am really

thankful to them.

Secondly I would also like to thank my Project Partners who helped me a lot in initializing and doing this project within the limited time frame.

ABSTRACT

• The present situation in Agriculture is all using manual communication between the user and the pump sets, Since manual operations, there may be some human errors leading to disasters.

• In order to reduce the manual efforts and human errors , an automated system is adjusted to monitor all parameters and functioning of irrigation system.

• The communication between the various sensor module in real time and the user is setup using global system for mobile communication technology (GSM).

• The objective of this project is to design a simple, easy to install, micro controller-based circuit to monitor and record the values of temperature, humidity, soil moisture and sunlight of the natural environment that are continuously modified .

FUNCTIONS:• Solar powered irrigation system consists of Atmel microcontroller

89S52 of series 8051 is the main part of the project which controls and drives all peripherals. Solar panel is mounted on stepper motor to expose to light according to sun movement.

• This solar panel is connected to a buck boosting circuit which is connected next to battery and then connected to a relay and voltage divider circuit.

• This relay is connected to the pump which starts pumping water when the moisture sensor senses the land as dry.

• The module consists of water level sensor which is used to sense the water level.

• A light dependent resistor (LDR) is also used in this module for the operation of solar panel for sensing the sunlight in this module

• An SMS which is prewritten in GSM module program is sent to the owner through GSM media of communication. An Alpha numeric LCD is used to display the data of the module.

APPLICATIONS• It can be implemented in modern irrigation system. • It may also be used in rural areas• May be implemented by small agriculturists.

ADVANTAGES• When power is off , this is very helpful for the farmers to depend on this

solar powered pump .• As solar energy is plenty and renewable we can depend on this and we can

save the power which is generated by other non renewable energy sources.

• We can handle and manage the irrigation system, while travelling and roaming any part of the world

• All kind of requirement and supply is to be done through SMS only, which is easily available.

DISADVANTAGES• In rainy seasons or in cloudy conditions solar energy will not be enough to

operate this solar powered pump module.

EXPECTED RESULT• The irrigation system could authorize and monitor the incoming signals ,

and could guide the user for the safe growth of the plants. And, also would achieve maximum plant growth and yield .

• Agriculturists can easily handle their field, with less effort and more efficiency.

CONCLUSION• We are trying to implement a prototype model of an irrigation system

within the limited available source and economy.

• The system can be subjected to further development using advanced techniques.

• It may become a success if our project can be implemented in the modern systems.
