Abstract :
In the field of agriculture, use of proper method of irrigation is important because the main reason is the lack of rainfall & scarcity of land reservoir water. The continuous extraction of water from earth is reducing the water level, due to which a lot of land is coming slowly in the zones of un-irrigated land. Another very important reason of this is unplanned use of water due to a significant amount of water goes waste. For this purposes an advanced automated irrigation system has been introduced. In this automated system we have used sensors, digital circuits, redundancy water sources and a control unit with a sophisticated SMS based monitoring system. We have designed and developed our circuits for sensing and monitoring the irrigation system.
