2. ★ ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:-
• We would like to express our special thanks of gratitude to our respected
teachers Mrs. Archana Agarwal ma’am, Mr. Anand Deshmukh sir and our
honoured judges who gave us this golden opportunity to do this wonderful
project, and guided us throughout this project by providing to us all the
necessary information and details regarding the same.

3. ★ AIM:-
• The main purpose is to built a low cost soil moisture monitoring device.
• Everyone of us likes a little greenery in our houses, don’t we? Plants require really
low maintenance and can be left for days without supervision but our long trips
extending over a week or 2 can be detrimental for the health of plants due to the
lack of moisture in the soil. In such situations, the plant may wither or die due to the
absence of proper watering.
• In order to avoid the above problem, we are making an Automatic Irrigation
System with an Arduino Uno which will irrigate your plants automatically and keep
them healthy even when you are out of the town for weeks or months.

4. ★ EQUIPMENT’S:-
• Arduino UNO
• Moisture sensor
• 5v relay module
• 6v Mini water pump with small pipe
• Connecting wires
• 5v battery

5. ★ SCHEMATICS:-

6. ★ CODE:-
int soilMoistureValue = 0;
int percentage=0;
void setup() {
pinMode(3,OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
soilMoistureValue = analogRead(A0);
Serial.println(percentage);
percentage = map(soilMoistureValue, 490, 1023, 100, 0);
if(percentage < 10)
{
Serial.println(" pump on");
digitalWrite(3,LOW);
}
if(percentage >80)
{
Serial.println("pump off");
digitalWrite(3,HIGH);
}
}

7. ★ PROCEDURE:-
• Connect the relay to the Arduino board.
• Connect the VCC of the relay module to the 5v pin of the Arduino and connect the
ground of the relay to the ground of Arduino.
• Now connect the relay signal pin to any digital pin of Arduino except pin 13.
• The next step is to connect the soil moisture sensor with the Arduino. Connect the VCC
and gnd of the sensor to the 5volt and ground pin of the Arduino. The analogue output
of the sensor connects to any analogue pin of the Arduino.
• Finally, connect the pump to the relay module. A relay module has 3 connection points
which are common, normally closed, and normally open. We have to connect the pump
positive to common and connect the normally open pin to the positive of the battery.
You have to select the battery as per your pump. The next step is to connect the
ground of the pump to the ground of the Arduino and finally, connect the small hose to
the water pump.
• Now connect the battery to the circuit and if the pump starts working then your circuit
is okay. Now let's upload code to Arduino.

8. ★ CONCLUSION:-
• The logic of this system is very simple. In this system, the moisture sensor
senses the moisture level of the soil and when the sensor senses a low
moisture level it automatically switches the water pump with the help of a
microcontroller and irrigates the plant. After supplying sufficient water, the
soil gets retains the moisture hence automatically stopping the pump.
• Thus the Moisture sensor will be used to maintain the optimum level of
moisture for your plants. This system can be implemented, both for your
garden or for your Indoor plants thus taking care of your leafy pets when you
are away.
