Soil Moisture Detection with Automatic Water Pump Control

Abstract: In India irrigation is mostly dependent on the monsoon which is not a reliable source of water. Depending upon the type of crop different water requirements will be there. The water retention capacity is also dependent on the type of soil present at that location. Due to this most of the crops are destroying due to non-availability of water resources and not supplying water to the crops at the right time. Also, in India farmers are not able to grow more than one crop in the same agricultural field as different crops need different requirement of water. Hence in order to solve all these problems our system will able to supply water to more than one crop whenever the soil moisture content is low for a particular crop.
