There are many devices in India which are used with man power (manual) that is they are operated with physical presence of a human being. They will not measure the water content of the soil and the required temperature to know if the soil actually needs watering or not.The main two aspects that we should consider in manual watering that I mentioned above. System of smart watering of plants is created For lessening manual work. By putting this system in your field or farm you not only save water but make your plants be the most effective they could be. Sprinklers or drip emitters or both can be used for making a effective system for all plants in any farm or field. Improper watering of fields which is a direct cause for the damage of plant health. A simple automatic plant watering system will do the job. In this project we use Arduino and soil moisture sensor with help of both we water the plants without physical presence. Our project's main focus is on efficient water and power supply watering device.The project depends on a straightforward thought of dampness or moisture of soil. The Arduino based system is modified to detect dampness dimension of plants at specific occurrence of time, if the moisture content is not exactly determined which is the required water substance and as indicated by it the ideal measure of water provided till it achieves edge. This idea is to plan and grow minimal cost system which depends on embedded system for water irrigation system framework. This system utilizes soil moisture sensor to identify the water amount present in soil. The project utilizes Arduino Uno which is a controller to process the data.
