Automated Irrigation Control and Security System with Wireless Messaging

P. Prabakaran, Sheeba Percis

Abstract


Objective of this project work is designed to operate as an Automated Irrigation Control and Security System with Wireless Messaging option. The main objectives of our work are to optimize proper use of water, to reduce the cost of labor and to provide high security. This project monitors the required water level in the field and throws up excess water due to heavy rain fall by controlling two electrical dewatering pumps. A wireless communication system is designed to provide field related information to the owner of the land. To ensure the security of the dewatering pumps and other electrical equipment’s, there is a password protected locking system allowing the control to the authorized person only.
