| dc.description.abstract | Efficient water management is a critical requirement in modern agriculture, especially in
regions facing water scarcity and unreliable power supply. This project presents a solar
powered automatic soil moisture maintenance system designed to control irrigation for
multiple agricultural fields independently. The system utilizes a solar panel with a charge
controller and rechargeable battery to ensure continuous and eco-friendly operation without
reliance on grid electricity. Three soil moisture sensors are deployed across three separate fields
to continuously monitor soil water content. Each field is assigned a predefined moisture
threshold of 70% respectively. A microcontroller processes the sensor data and activates the
corresponding solenoid valve when the moisture level falls below the specified threshold. Once
the required moisture level is achieved, the valve is automatically deactivated, preventing over
irrigation and water wastage. The proposed system operates autonomously, reduces manual
labor, optimizes water usage, and supports sustainable agricultural practices. Its modular and
scalable design makes it suitable for gardens, greenhouses, and agricultural fields, particularly
in remote areas where conventional power sources are unavailable. | en_US |
