Irrigation has been the backbone of human civilization since man has started agriculture.As the generation evolved, man developed many methods of irrigation to supply water to the land.In the present scenario on conservation of water is of high importance.By knowing the status of moisture and temperature through GSM with the use of moisture, Raindrop and temperature sensors, water flow can be controlled by just sending a message from our mobile and also adaptively sprinkling water to simulate the effect of rainfall.Central to this design is an Arduino Uno microcontroller which monitors the farm condition and controls the distribution of water on the farm.Relays are controlled by the microcontroller through the high current driver IC and provided for controlling the system, which controls the flow of water to different parts of the field and also used to shut-off the main motor which is used to pump the water to the field.This irrigation system allows farmers to reduce runoff from over watering saturated soils, avoid irrigating at the wrong time of day and in effect improve the crop yield by ensuring adequate water supply when needed.
