Solar Based Automatic Irrigation System with GSM Module

In this investigation, the traditional irrigation system of Bangladesh has been modernized using recent technology for the betterment of rural farmers, and its impact upon agricultural development has been discussed. More precisely, user-friendly watering in the field, along with reducing labor cost, standardization of farming system, using technical advancement to meet the peak demand for food, and improving farming methods are the key objectives. ATmega 2560 microcontroller, Sensors, GSM module, LCD, and Solenoid valve has been used as a prime component. Temperature, humidity, and water level corresponding to a particular field has been measured. That information has been sent to its user through a short message service. Finally, the pump has been controlled based on the water requirement. As a result, a certain amount of water and electricity can be saved, which has been calculated. Manual and automatic operation mode also substantiated.
