Project Description: This project is a Smart Agriculture System designed to automate the irrigation process for plants, ensuring optimal water usage and reducing manual intervention. The system utilizes a soil moisture sensor to monitor the soil's moisture level and controls two water pumps accordingly. The first pump is always active to water hydroponic plants, while the second pump operates automatically based on the sensor's readings. If the soil moisture level drops below 50 (indicating dry soil), the second pump activates to irrigate the plants. Once the moisture level rises above 50 (indicating moist soil), the pump turns off. This ensures that plants receive the right amount of water at the right time, promoting healthy growth and conserving water.
The project is built using simple, everyday materials, making it accessible and easy to replicate for users. It is programmed in C++, which allows for efficient control and customization of the system. By automating the irrigation process, this system not only saves time and effort but also supports sustainable farming practices.
Aligned with the theme of Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, this project demonstrates how simple, affordable technology can be used to create innovative solutions for modern agriculture. It encourages the adoption of smart farming techniques, particularly in areas where resources are limited, and promotes the use of technology to enhance productivity and sustainability in agriculture. This project is a step toward making smart agriculture accessible to everyone, fostering innovation and infrastructure development in the agricultural sector.
