Abstract:
At present there is less than 1% of fresh water available on earth. One of the
important usage of fresh water is for agricultural production and the use of fresh
water will continue to increase since growth in population and food demand
increases. This lead to the necessity of automated controlling approach for
irrigation system. This system is designed to have a control approach on water
that is used in agriculture. The defined system here has a WSN(wireless sensor
network) includes WSU(wireless sensor unit) and WIU(wireless information unit)
which are used to maintain quantity of water by monitoring following parameters
such as temperature, soil moisture and humidity. This system can save maximum
water and produce good yield compared to traditional methods of irrigation. The
design is also resource efficient by itself by consuming low power.
