Abstract
Bangladesh is the agriculture based country. Most of the people in our country completely
depended on the agricultural harvesting. Agriculture is a source of livelihood of majority
Bangladeshi and has great impact on the economy of the country. In dry areas or in case of
inadequate rainfall, irrigation becomes difficult. So, it needs to be automated for proper yield
and handled remotely for farmer safety. If the farmer is far from the agricultural land he will
not be noticed of current conditions. So, efficient water management plays an important role
in the irrigated agricultural ingathering systems.
Description
By applying the idea of Arduino based automatic irrigation system a gardener or farmer can
save water up to 60% and power. This idea builds on two irrigation methods those are:
conventional irrigation methods like overhead sprinklers, flood type feeding systems i.e. wet
the lower leaves and stem of the plants.
