One of the biggest networks where people work as groups in the field of Agriculture. As technology is increasing and automation is replacing manual operation in almost all the fields, the same can be applied to the Agricultural Field also. Previously farmers manually used to water the fields whenever needed and power for providing the water is taken from household power. The cons of this system are we need to pay for the power and every time human intervention is needed whenever water needs to be provided. Imagine there is an automatic system where whenever water is needed for the field, automatically pump will be turned on and when water level sufficient, the pump will be turned off automatically and the power required for the operation of the pump will be taken from the solar power.

You will need Arduino to interface the microcontroller with the Soil moisture sensor, Wi-Fi module, pump and solar panel. You will programme the microcontroller in such a way that whenever the soil moisture senses the moisture content less than a certain value, the pump will be automatically turned on and then as soon as the soil moisture sense the moisture content more than a particular value, the pump will be turned off automatically. Now the power taken by the pump to supply water will be taken from the Solar Panel itself. You can innovate the system to upload the data regarding pump status and moisture content status into a remote server for further analysis.
