Abstract

Water is an important resource required by all living things to stay alive. Water conservation is an important agenda throughout the world. Agriculture sector consumes lots of water resources to grow crops, vegetables and etc. Hence, a water saving irrigation system is desirable. The main objective of the project is to design and develop a prototype for an IoT-based drip irrigation and soil monitoring system. The system can be used to control and monitor the drip irrigation process according to soil moisture levels and also provides a notification to alert the user whenever the water level on the water container is low. There are three soil moisture sensors used to detect the soil moisture level from three different flower pots. The Arduino Nano which will automatically turn on submersible water pumps for drip irrigation when the moisture level detected is less than 20%. Furthermore, right-angle flip switch water level sensor is used to monitor the water level of the water container. Whenever the sensor detects that the water level is low, then a notification is sent to the user via BLYNK app. The system is able to communicate with the BLYNK app which is the IoT platform used to provide all of live stream data from the sensors to let user know on the changes occurred to the surrounding such as temperature, relative humidity, light intensity besides soil moisture levels.
