IoT based solar powered smart irrigation system

Abstract

The basic and essential survival needs on earth is Water. In Recent times, the water scarcity is increased due to increase of population and deforestation. This paper based on development of an Internet of Things with solar powered irrigation using embedded method which is effective in agricultural field. Our project is to design a model of PIC for irrigation system which is supervised using Wi-Fi module (ESP8266). The WiFi module is operated using a (PIC) 16F877A from Microcontroller via utilizing the energy from the solar panel, run the motors which irrigates the field by sensing the moisture in the soil. The water above the marked level is pumped out by a motor by the information from the level sensor. The advancements of technology like IoT has vast demand in various operations. This system can easily access by the farmer to control the irrigation from anywhere in the world in an effective way.
