INTRODUCTION
• In globalization era, disaster such as heat
wave and water pollution could be major
drawback to agriculture since most crops
needed a perfect condition to grow healthy.
• This project help farmer to water their plants
and to monitor the soil condition regardless
of where and what time the farmer wanted.
• Besides that, it also help to reduce the over
usage of water in order to save water and
also use electrical energy harvested from
the solar panels.
• So, the focus of this project is to develop an
automated watering system powered by
solar energy using the IoT technology in
order to move forward to more efficient,
sustainable and eco-friendly system.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
In traditional agriculture methods,
plants are watered by farmers
themselves either turning on the
water sprinkler or using water pot
and this method may lead to over
or under watering since no
measurement are taken.

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
To design an efficient
automated crops
watering system that
helps farmers to monitor
and water plants. To create an application
that notify farmers
regarding the soil moisture
and the automated
watering system.
To study the
sustainability and
effectiveness of solar
energy that use to power
the whole system.

This project is subjected to focus its study on agriculture sector and made
for watering plants. Besides that, this project should implement to area that
have high potential to harvest more solar energy.
SCOPE OF STUDIES
BENEFITSAND CONTRIBUTION
With the development of this project, farmers can water the plants from
distant without had to worried if they over or under water the plants. Other
than that, it is also economical since it reduces the usage of electricity from
the electrical company or supplier by using solar energy.

1 AUTOMATED PLANT
WATERING SYSTEM
• Drahti Divani
• Pallavi Patil
• Prof. Sunil K.
Punjabi
A simple system using
automatic irrigation to
water a small potted
plants or crop.
Arduino Uno, moisture
sensor and water pump.
Low cost
system and
efficient.
The coverage of the
system is small
since it applicable
for small potted
plant or crop.
2 SMART SYSTEM
MONITORING ON SOIL
USING INTERNET OF THINGS
• E. Sowmiya
• S. Sivaranjani
A system to monitor the
soil pH rate, temperature
and water level using
wireless sensor and alert
through SMS.
Using 8 bit PIC 16F877A
microcontroller, GSM
module, LCD,
temperature sensor LM35
and soil moisture sensor.
Convenient to
monitor the
soil condition.
All action to
overcome
abnormalities like
watering the plants
need to be done
manually.

Agriculture parameter
like soil moisture,
humidity and
temperature are
monitored and displayed
on LCD.
Microcontroller analyse
data to water crops
based on schedule, as
well as transmit data
through wireless module
via RS232.
The system use moisture
sensor LM35, Humidity
sensor HS HY 200,
microcontroller
PIC16F877A and wireless
module CC2500.
Automatically
water plants if
needed.
The pH rate of soil
is not monitored
since it is crucial to
maintain in order
for plant to grow
healthy and stay
alive

EXPECTED OUTCOME
In this project, it expected to water with
sufficient amount according to the data
receive from soil moisture sensor.
Therefore, this project will help to maintain
the growth of plants and reduce water
usage.
Lastly, help farmer to monitor the soil
condition and reduce farmer workload.

CONCLUSION
This project will come out with a solar powered agriculture monitoring system
using IoT to help farmer to water their crops and monitor their crops field
anywhere and anytime they wanted. Thus, reduce farmer workload and reduce
water wastage.
