3. INTRODUCTION
This project aims to design and fabricate a smart irrigation system
using IoT to optimize water usage, save energy, and increase crop
yield. The outcome of this project will be a cost-effective and
sustainable solution that benefits farmers and the environment. In this
project, we have designed and developed a system for measuring and
monitoring soil moisture by integrating a low-cost soil moisture sensor
with IoT, cloud computing, and mobile computing technologies.

4. In our smart irrigation system project, effective weekly planning
plays a crucial role in maximizing efficiency and developing
project model. By breaking down the project into weekly
milestones, we ensure a systematic approach towards achieving our
objectives. Each week is dedicated to specific tasks and goals that
contribute to the overall success of the project.
Our weekly planning for the Smart Irrigation Project model
encompasses essential activities, including code development for
system control, app development for remote monitoring, and model
testing for performance evaluation.

9. DEVELOPED CONTROL SYSTEM

10. WORKING OF MODEL
1. The soil moisture sensor continuously measures the moisture
level in the soil.
2. The DHT11 sensor measures the temperature and humidity of the
air and soil.
3. The Node-MCU receives the moisture, temperature, and humidity
data and compares them with predefined threshold values. If the
moisture or temperature or humidity level falls below the
threshold, indicating a need for irrigation, the microcontroller
activates the motor .
4. Once the moisture, temperature or humidity level reaches the
desired range, the Node-MCU deactivates the motor.
5. Throughout the operation, the Node-MCU can send real-time
data to an IoT cloud server for analysis, and remote monitoring.
