Abstract

These research studies aim to develop a new automated irrigation method for agricultural land. Sprinklers and surface irrigation use roughly half of available water sources. Plants can get a more accurate amount of watering. Automatic Drip Irrigation is an extremely useful tool for precisely controlling soil moisture. Additionally, it assists in saving time, eliminating human error in adjusting available soil moisture levels, and optimizing their net yield. Farmers can mitigate runoff caused by overwatering saturated soils. The proposed model uses a microcontroller with AT Mega 328 Series microcontroller and sensors to detect moisture levels in the soil using an external hard-driven sensor for pumping water into the molds. When the controller gets this signal, it generates an output that drives the water pump ON or OFF. From Bangladesh's perspective, the suggested automated irrigation system is beneficial. Water distribution on fields or small gardens is easier and does not require constant operator management. This model is aimed for gardeners and farmers who lack time to water their plants. It also affects farmers who waste water when irrigating. Greenhouses, where manual supervision is rare, can employ the proposed model. The concept can be extended to fully automated gardens and farms
