Abstract :
An automated irrigation system is developed to reduce the usage level of and to reduce power loss in
agricultural fields. The system has of soil-moisture sensor, temperature sensor, water availability sensor, level sensor,
EB power availability sensor. In addition, this automated system gives the sensor information, triggering signals to
the actuators and also transmits the data through SMS to the farmer. A FUZZY based algorithm is developed with
set values of temperature and soil moisture and level of water that is programmed into a microcontroller-based
controller system to control the usage of water. A GSM modem is used to transmit about the condition of crop along
with various sensors. Because of its energy efficiency and lowest cost, this automated system has to be useful in the
areas where the ground water level is less like a geographically isolated areas.
