1. Introduction
The SmartGrow Auto Watering System is an intelligent system designed to automatically water plants based on soil moisture levels. It uses sensors and a microcontroller (Micro:bit/Arduino) to ensure plants receive the right amount of water without human effort.
2. Problem Statement
Many people forget to water plants regularly or give too much or too little water. This can cause plants to dry out or die. Manual watering is also time-consuming and inefficient, especially for busy individuals or large gardens.
3. Solution
This system uses a soil moisture sensor to detect the water level in the soil. When the soil becomes dry, the system automatically activates a water pump to water the plant. Once enough moisture is reached, the system stops watering, ensuring proper plant care.
4. Impacts
Saves water by preventing overwatering
Keeps plants healthy and growing well
Reduces human effort and time
Supports smart and sustainable farming practices
5. Commercialization Potential
This system can be developed into a low-cost product for home gardening, farms, and nurseries. It is highly useful for plant lovers and farmers. With upgrades like mobile app control or solar power, it can become a modern smart agriculture solution.
