Abstract: The Conventional Agricultural Systems have been around for decades, but the main problem with them is their manual operation. This results into excessive mental stress on the part of motor operator, pertaining to constant observation. Also the conventional system lacks protection mechanism from single phasing, overheating, dry run, & can sometimes lead to excessive water wastage. Thus there was a need to develop the water pumping system which would free the user from constant observation & safeguard the motor from single phasing, dry run, overheating, & to reduce water wastage. This project primarily focuses on creation of smart agricultural water pumping system which is free from above mentioned drawbacks of conventional system firstly, we surveyed the problems faced by farmers .Then we brainstormed the possible solution to the problems. Then we reached to the conclusion of using water level sensor WS-30, moisture sensor MS-16, thermistor to understand the environmental variables and then using a micro controller to control the motor. And this whole system was to be controlled remotely using GSM and DTMF technology. A prototype of system has been created and it is observed to be working with little or no interference from the user. The operation is hassle free and completely automatic. In conclusion, this smart design will make the water pumping system used in farms more efficient with safe and hassle free operation of the motor.
