Power Efficient Distant Controlled Smart Irrigation System for AMAN and BORO Rice

Irrigation is the process of applying appropriate amount of water to crop fields at needed interim. Irrigation is an exigent part of cultivation of rice. Although, the overall yield of rice paddy predominantly depends on proper irrigation, irrigation process in developing countries like Bangladesh is still backdated. This study proposes an Arduino/GSM based remotely controlled power efficient smart irrigation system for crops that need to be immersed in water during its growing period. It will ensure the proper irrigation of a field by monitoring water level of the paddy field, providing feedback to farmers and giving farmers option to control the water motor via SMS. This study is expected to improve the overall production of AMAN and BORO rice of Barishal region by automating the traditional irrigation system. Also it will provide a more sophisticated irrigation system for similar types of crops.
