3.  A soil moisture monitoring system is a technology-
driven solution designed to measure and manage
the moisture content in the soil.
 Soil moisture sensors are the core components of
the monitoring system. These sensors are
embedded in the soil at different depths to measure
the amount of water present.
 Advanced soil moisture monitoring systems may
integrate with irrigation systems to automate
watering based on real-time soil moisture data. This
helps in optimizing water usage, conserving
resources, and promoting healthier plant growth.

PIN DEFINITIONS
 Pin with "S" written on it means signal.
 Pin with "-" written on it means GND
(ground).
 Pin with "+" written on it means 5v supply.

6. This is an Electrical resistance Sensor. The sensor is made up of two electrodes. This
soil moisture sensor reads the moisture content around it. A current is passed across the
electrodes through the soil and the resistance to the current in the soil determines the
soil moisture. If the soil has more water resistance will be low and thus more current
will pass through. On the other hand when the soil moisture is low the sensor module
outputs a high level of resistance.
This sensor has both digital and analogue outputs. Digital output is simple to use but is
not as accurate as the analogue output.

8. WORKING
A soil moisture monitoring system is designed to measure and track the moisture content in
the soil, which is important for various applications such as agriculture, environmental
monitoring, and landscaping. Soil moisture sensors are installed at various depths in the
soil. The depth of placement depends on the specific requirements of the application and the
root depth of the plants (in the case of agriculture). The sensors periodically measure the
soil's moisture content and send this data to the data logger. The data logger stores the
collected data and may also processors it to calculate important parameters such as average
soil moisture levels over time. The system can transmit the data to a remote location using a
communication module. This allows users to access the data and monitor soil moisture
remotely. The collected data is analyzed to gain insights into soil moisture trends and
patterns. This information can be used to make informed decisions about irrigation, farming
practices, or other relevant applications.
