Hence we must understand that we should make an efficient and smart way to irrigate a field. The system proposed here uses these data to analyze the requirement of water in the field. The proposed system uses ATmega328 microcontroller to analyze the data given by the sensor to command the supply of water and it also controls the amount of water that is to be used for irrigation in the field. The various sensors present in the field are soil moisture sensor and temperature sensor. Sensor used in the field doesn't get triggered when enough water is present in the field i.e. the moisture level is good but when the soil gets dry then the soil moisture sensor send the information to the microcontroller which commands the flow of water to start the pump to irrigate the field. So there is a mechanism of switching ON and OFF of the pump which provides the scheduled water supply in required area. The main aim of the system is to examine whether this automatic irrigation system which is known as smart drip irrigation system can reduce the wastage of water in the rural fields.

INTRODUCTION We know that in India, agriculture plays a vital role in the development. In our country the irrigation is primarily done by the help of the rainwater or the groundwater which is depleting the drinkable water. The irrigation depends on the soil type in that particular area where irrigation is to be done. We know that there are two things which are to be considered while irrigation i.e. moisture content present in the soil and the fertility of soil. Nowadays there are different irrigation mechanism and techniques available, that is used to reduce our dependency on the groundwater and rain for irrigation. These techniques are dependent upon the switching ON and OFF water pump to regulate the flow of water in the field and involve the use of the water reservoir and the moisture sensor which are placed on the root of plant. As we know that soil moisture sensor has two parts, first is electrical part and second is the sensor probe. The Sensor Probe is placed inside the soil and it handles the data to send it to the controller that commands the water flow to provide required water. The actual parameter values can be seen anytime by user in App. 2. LITERATURE REVIEW In [1] October 2017 V. Vinoth Kumar and his team member proposed an irrigation system using IOT which receives various sensor data and other atmospheric parameters from the sensors. The data is sent from the various sensors like soil moisture sensor and temperature sensor in analog form. A predefined value of soil moisture is fixed in microcontroller and when the moisture content becomes less than this predefined value then system is triggered. In [2] February 2017 Shrishti Rawal, explained how the agricultural practices can be made lot easier with the help of automation in the field rather than manual system. This give the greater amount of yield and a very less human attention is required after its implementation. Continuous monitoring and maintenance can be insured with the help of the proposed system. ATMEGA328 Microcontroller attached on ARDUINO UNO board acts as a controlling unit. This system enables the flow of water when the moisture of the soil is below the threshold value. In [3] September 2017 Arif Gori and Manglesh told that ground water scarcity is a big problem in today's world. There is immediate need of adopting advanced irrigation systems which will be far better than our traditional methods. This will ensure continuous surveillance and conservation of water because this system monitors the need of the field for water. Hence this system can lead to a better agricultural practice. In [4] March 2017 Dr. S. Joshi told about the system which uses microcontroller and moisture sensor to control the water flow in the field. The system involves the use of humidity sensor, temperature sensor, Wi-Fi module and various other sensors to make an automated irrigation system. The fluctuation of the moisture level in the ground is monitored and according to that the decision is taken by the microcontroller which commands the water flow. If [5] the sent value depicts that the moisture value is below a limit then the requirement of water is fulfilled by the flow of
