System will detects a soil if watering is required then the water will be maintained at the constant level. The proposed system uses an ARDUINO Uno that simplifies the working of microcontroller programming compared to other programming tools. Whenever there is a variation in moisture content of the soil these sensors will determine the change and will give an interrupt signal to the microcontroller and eventually will send signal to the relay driver that will activate the water pump. This irrigation system also includes a water level indicator in the water tank which will indicate the water capacity of the reservoir itself whether it is low level or high level. © 2017 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.
