Abstract

Agriculture is a source of livelihood of majority Indians and has great impact on the economy of the country. In dry lands or in case of insufficient rainfall, irrigation becomes difficult. So, it needs to be automation required for proper yield and handled remotely for farmer usage and safety. In this paper we suggest a Wireless sensor network and Embedded based technique to control water flow level for sectored, sprinkler or drip method section irrigation system. This system will be very economical in terms of the hardware cost, man power, and power consumption. In places such as agriculture land areas must be a continuous need for monitoring the water level at particular field. In places such as drip irrigation for coconuts, bananas and some vegetable plants, the water is let out through pipes directly to each field. A person has to carefully watch the water level at regular intervals. His job becomes difficult at night times and for frequent power cut. Sometimes there is wastage of water and electricity due to negligence and other times there is a hard job for the formers. This is highly helpful in places such as drip irrigation system where there are many flow pipes but does not require any change in the agricultural fields. When the motor is switched on the sensors are activated and the fields are irrigated automatically without man power. Once the water reaches a particular level which may take several hours, this system takes appropriate steps to regulate or even stop the water flow.
