OPTIMIZATION OF WATER AND

YIELD IMPROVEMENT
SMART INDIA HACKATHON –HARDWARE EDITION 2019

Abstract Hardware Design

To have maximum yield, there is a need for optimum
irrigation. The need of water depends on soil type, crop type,
and other parameters. Currently irrigation happens based on
human inspection and does not take into account various
parameters which make it optimal. Parameters such as soil
moisture, crop type, seasons weather forecast, can be
measured and well used in optimizing water delivery as well
as biological micro-nutrients in some form. Using historical /
agricultural data will help further in providing real time
irrigation requirement. Thus the water delivery can be
controlled. This will ensure optimal usage of water with
improved yield. This technique can be specifically useful for
poly-houses.

Working Product
 light sensor sense the presence of ambient light in the
Polyhouse, measure the intensity of light and provide the
light by switching ON the light bulb.
 The dht11 temperature and humidity sensor senses the
temperature and relative humidity in the closed
environment,
i. If the temperature exceeds the limit then the cooling fan
attached with the Arduino will be switched on
automatically.
ii. If the humidity exceed the maximum limit then the exhaust
fan attached with the Arduino will be switched on
automatically.
 The moisture sensor will sense the moisture in the soil, If
the moisture value falls below threshold value the water
supply pump will be ON and as soon as the water level
rises to sufficient value the supply pump will be OFF .
 The data of the field is logged into the operator’s PC,
extract it into txt form and can be used for research
purpose.

Area of Application Commercial

 With the use of this design we reduce the wastage of water
in irrigation management system and increase the crop
Viability
yield by smart irrigation management.
With the population of 130 crore in INDIA and demand
 In developing countries like India where agriculture sector
of food, growing crops across the year is need, which
accommodates large percentage of GDP ,it is important to
requires optimized technique, with this design product,
empower the agriculture yields by modern technologies. the demand of the food can be fulfil .
 This management design also fight with water scarcity
problem in various regions where availability of water is This design will prove itself as affordable, result
very less . oriented and provide user the best quality of product
 So this designed system can be installed over commercial from the field.
farming industries and even on the regular farming field.
