1. Introduction

Philippine economy is basically depends on agriculture. Agriculture uses most of available fresh water

resources and this use of fresh water resources will continue to be increases Because of population growth

and increased food demand. Increased labor costs, stricter Environmental regulations and increased

competition for water resources from urban areas Provide strong motivation for efficient Irrigation system.

During the NIA-UPRIIS water irrigation system, the cost of water was not monitored properly anymore. It

was not feasible to their system that the farmer was already taking an advantage to their manual canal.

And because of that, farmers will open their irrigation without the hydrologist permission. That’s why we

create the Automated Irrigation System is feasible and cost effective for optimizing water resources for

agricultural production. Using the automated irrigation system we can prove that the use of water can be

reduced for different agricultural production. The irrigation system provide only required amount of water

to crop. This Automated Irrigation System allows it to be scaled up for larger greenhouses or open fields.

An automated irrigation system was developed to optimize water use for agricultural crops. The system

has a distributed wireless network of soil moisture and Temperature sensors placed in the root zone of rice

crops and water level sensor for checking the water level. In addition, a gateway unit handles sensor

information, triggers actuators, and transmits data to a web application. An algorithm was developed with

threshold values of temperature, soil moisture and water level that was programmed into a micro-controller

based gateway to control water quantity.

1.2 Project Context

Nowadays, Philippines is an agriculture country. Most Filipinos depended on the agricultural products.

Agriculture is a source of livelihood of most Filipinos and has great impact on the economy of the country.

In dry areas or in case of inadequate rainfall, irrigation becomes arduous. So, it requires to be automated

for felicitous yield. In present scenario, irrigation techniques in Philippines are through the manual control

in which the farmers irrigate the land at conventional intervals. Manual operation of the routine practices in

agriculture requires lot of attention and care. Withal it is arduous to perform desired jobs efficiently and

precisely. Ultimately this may result in lower crop engenderment, non-uniform magnification and poor

quality. The prelude of automation in irrigation system will result in incremented application efficiency and

drastically reduce labor requisite. Plus, Farmers may use to open pipe wrench to open the canals when the

water came from without hydrologist permission and there’s no schedule. NIA-UPRIIS was thinking what

is the better method on how they will prevent the theft of water in irrigation. That’s why we create the

automated irrigation system is feasible and cost effective for optimizing water resources for agricultural

production. Using the automated irrigation system we can prove that the use of water can be reduced for

different agricultural production. The irrigation system provide only required amount of water to crop. This

automated irrigation system allows it to be scaled up for larger greenhouses or open fields. An automated

irrigation system was developed to optimize water use for agricultural crops. The system has a distributed

wireless network of soil moisture and Temperature sensors placed in the root zone of the rice crops and

water level sensor for checking the water level.

1.5 Scope and Limitations

Scope

1. By using our system, the user can turn on the pump through mobile application.

2. GSM module will notify the benefactors about the information of watering the field. However, SIM

cards of GSM modem should maintain enough balance.

3. The system embodies a password for security which the user can set.

4. The target soil moisture can be accustomed depending on the water requirements of the soil.

5. The Sliding Gate opens if the majority of the land area is dry and if the user turns it on via sending

SMS.

Limitations

1. The system is only capable of watering the fields or farm.

2. Sensitive when reading the temperature

3. In rainy seasons or in cloudy conditions solar energy will not be enough to operate this solar pump

module.

4. The GSM module is only for sending status (information).

5. The system does not consider the type of farms as it focuses only on one factor which is the soil

moisture.

1.6 Significance of the Study

Farmers

This Project would be beneficial to the farmers to get manage their manner of accessing the main canals

while filtering their own field.

Hydrologists

This Project would be also beneficial to the hydrologist because it reduces labor to them. Plus, As the

hydrologist is not required to constantly monitor the progress of an irrigation, the irrigator is available to

perform other tasks – uninterrupted.

For NIA-UPRIIS

This project would be beneficial to the department of the government in charge of the Agriculture for this

can make them realize the importance of proper irrigation and monitoring of water usage in the fields.

Furthermore, this can make way for a further study or even a project about proper irrigation of fields with

the help of the same technology.

For Farmers/Caretakers

This project is specifically made for monitoring the land and can help the farmers to minimize human

effort in manually checking if the fields need to be watered. Instead, they can just rely on this project by

the SMS they receive through the GSM technology and even send command to control the turning on/off

of the pump.

For Land Owners

The project aims to minimize water usage where the land owners will most benefit. Through an

investment to this kind of system, the land owners will have less expense on their water consumption.

1.6 Definition Of Terms

Irrigation

artificial supply of water to land, to maintain or increase yields of food crops, a critical element of modern

agriculture. Irrigation can compensate for the naturally variable rate and volume of rain.

Wireless Sensor Network

A wireless sensor network consists of spatially distributed autonomous devices using sensors to monitor

physical or environmental parameters. A WSN uses a gateway that provides connectivity to the distributed

nodes. A WSN node have several components including battery, microcontroller, radio, analog circuit and

sensor interface.

Microcontroller

Microcontroller is a system having peripherals, memory and processor which is used as an embedded

system. Microcontroller contains a number of general purpose input and output pins, number of these pins

vary according to application controller. These pins are configured either as input or output by means of

7
NIA- UPRIIS’ Automated Water Irrigation System
COLLEGE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING

Department of Information Technology

software. Configuring these pins as inputs, the data is collected from the output of any sensor or any

external signal. If these pins are configured as output pins, they are used to drive external devices i.e.

motors, LCD etc.

Sensor

It is a Device which detects or measures a physical property and records,indicates or otherwise responds

to it. In broadest definition, a sensor is a device,module or subsystem whose purpose is to detect events

or changes in its environment and send the information to other electronics, frequently a computer

processor. A sensor is always used with other electronics.

Temperature And Humidity Sensor

Temperature is important parameter in irrigation system. Maintaining temperature in irrigation system plays

important role in growth of crops. Due to low temperature energy use reduces and storage of sugar increases

and due to high temperature rate of respiration sometimes above the rate of photosynthesis. Humidity is

defined as amount of water in air. Humidity measurement at earth’s surface is required for meteorological

analysis and forecasting climate studies and for many special applications in Hydrology, agriculture,

aeronautics and environmental studies in general. In irrigation system measurement of humidity is important

for plant protection. Humidity control is important in Dew Protection for plant.

SHORT MESSAGE SERVICE (SMS)

It is a technology that enables the sending and receiving of message between mobile phones. SMS first

appeared in Europe in 1992. It was included in the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication)

standards right at the beginning. Later it was ported to wireless technologies like CDMA and TDMA. The

GSM and SMS standards were originally developed by ETSI. ETSI is the abbreviation for European

Telecommunication Standard Institute. Now the 3GPP (Third Generation Partnership Project) is

responsible for the development and maintenance of the GSM and SMS standards.

GSM Modem

Modem stands for modulator-demodulator. It is a communication device that can modulate an analog carrier

signal with digital data and transmit, while it also demodulates the incoming modulated signal to extract the

analog information. There can be wired as well as wireless modems. We are using the later one where in

the modem captures the modulated carrier signal with an antenna connected to it. A GSM Modem is a

wireless modem that works with a GSM wireless network. Like a GSM Mobile Phone, a GSM Modem

requires a SIM

Review of Related Literature/Systems

2.1 Theoretical Background

Sunil Kumar (2014), proposed an Automatic irrigation system using wireless sensor network and GPRS

module. They have developed an automated irrigation system based on ARM microcontroller. Optimum

use of water was main objective of their irrigation system to reduce water consumption. They have used

temperature and soil moisture sensors to detect the amount of water present in agriculture and water level

sensor to detect water level in over head tank. And also they have monitored the status of the sensors on

remote PC through a web page. They have the temperature and soil moisture sensors and water level on

web page through micro controller. The web-server was connected to the internet. By typing the IP-address

on the web browser, the owner gets a web page on screen. Siva Sankari (2014), proposed a wireless

monitoring and controlling system for automatic irrigation field. They have controlled the motor operation

by sensing the soil moisture content whish was sensed by the separate sensor. Sensor output data had

fed into the micro controller and the microcontroller acted according to the control algorithm. They had used

two GSM modules in the network which could be acted as a transmitter and a receiver. Here when a

particular moisture level reaches below the threshold value, the motor will be turned ON. The soil moisture

content and the motor functionality status can be monitored in Lab VIEW. Deepak Dharrao (2015),

proposed an automatic irrigation system using WSN. They had controlled the humidity and temperature of

fields precisely by using the sensors. They had implemented the irrigation control system in real time by

using microcontroller and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) mobile phone. The information

10

had been passed to the user in the form of SMS. Gao Liai (2012), proposed an intelligent irrigation system

based on wireless sensor network and fuzzy logic control to resolve the problems which include loss of soil

fertility and waste of water resource in agriculture production. The system consisted of wireless sensor

networks and the monitoring center. They had taken soil moisture content deviation and the rate of change

of deviation as input variables of fuzzy controller and had established a fuzzy control regular database for

the fuzzy irrigation control system. The monitoring center received the data transmission from wireless

sensor network node and output information of irrigation water demands to the relay via a wireless sensor

network to control opening and closing time of the valve in crop areas. The experimental results showed

that the system had a stable and reliable data transmission which can be achieved in real-time monitoring

of soil on crop growth and gave a right amount of information based on crops growth. Pavithra (2014),

proposed a GSM based automatic irrigation control system for efficient use of resources and crop planning

by using an android mobile. They had designed an Android Software Development Kit using Java

programming language. They had used GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) as a solution for irrigation

control system and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) to inform the user about the exact

field condition while developing the application.

2.2 Related Literature/System

Since nowadays, in the age of advanced electronics and technology the life of human being should be

simpler and more convenient there is a need for many automated systems that are capable of replacing

or reducing human effort in their daily activities or jobs. Here, they introduce one such system named as

automatic water irrigation system which is actually a model of controlling irrigation facilities that uses

sensor technology to sense soil moisture with a micro controller and GSM module in order to make a

smart switching device to help millions of people. The similarities of the article and this study was it has

an ability to control the overflowing of water Because One of the most factors for successful agricultural

production is the irrigation system in place. It was also an automatic irrigation which takes advantage of

the various phases of plant growth, was developed and implemented using wireless sensor network

technology integrated with Android Application and SMS. The amount of water in the soil was measured

via sensors that were placed in the certain points of the area to be irrigated. The amount of water in the

soil was measured via sensors that were placed in certain points of the area to be irrigated. These

sensors are placed in the root of the plant. Data from sensors was transmitted via WI-FI in real time to a

mobile phone based on Android Application. In the light of obtained data, the automatic irrigation system

was created depending on the amount of water required by fields at each stage of their growth stage. The

Required energy of the system was provided by solar energy. This system can be controlled using smart

phones which increases the usability of the system. And SMS to inform the farmers that the irrigation was

completely done with their responsibilities. When design performance was analyzed, it was observed that

some important advantages such as obtaining high efficiency with water,time and energy saving and

reducing the workforce was ensured. The Uniqueness of our project is the data was also transmitted in

their water irrigation system which they used to save data via their website. In order to organized the data

well, our System using Mobile Application will handle all records that they will be irrigated on time.

2.3 Review Related Literature, Studies/System

Foreign

The development of models and strategies to control the environment of farm started with the shoot

environment, that is, with the climate. One important reason was that influencing variables such as

temperature, humidity, and irradiation or CO2 concentration are easier to measure and to control.” (Hans

P. K, 2000)

From this research, we can see that there are a few factors that need to be control in the environment.

12
NIA- UPRIIS’ Automated Water Irrigation System
COLLEGE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING

Department of Information Technology

The factor that is to be considered is soil moisture.

Khriji et al (2014) presented a complete irrigation solution for the farmers based on WSN. The automated

irrigation system using low-cost sensor nodes having reduced power consumption can reduce the water

waste and is cost effective. A node is deployed using Telos B mote and adequate sensors/actuators. Field

nodes are used to detect the level of moisture and temperature in the soil. Weather nodes monitor the

climatic changes, and the nodes connected to actuators are used to control the opening of the irrigation

valve when needed.

Mahir et al (2014) proposed an efficient water usage system by pump power reduction using solar-powered

drip irrigation system in an orchard. Soil moisture content is analyzed by Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)

to provide even distribution of water for the required location. This will prevent the unnecessary irrigation

and reduce the water demand. This system reduces the orchard’s daily water usage and energy

consumption by 38 percentages.

Farid et al (2013) presented a practical solution based on intelligent and effective system for a field of hyper

aridity. The system consists of a feedback FLC that logs key field parameters through specific sensors and

a Zigbee-GPRS remote monitoring and database platform. The system is deployed in existing drip

irrigation systems without any physical modification. FLC acquires data from these sensors and fuzzy rules

are applied to produce appropriate time and duration for irrigation.

Singh et al (2012) presents a solution for an irrigation controller for cultivation of vegetable fields based

on the fuzzy logic methodology. In this system the amount of water given to the farm depends on its

size, moisture control of soil, which is affected by temperature of environment, evaporation due to wind

velocity and water budget. The system feed water to farm in a controlled and optimal way. Solar energy

conversion technology is used to feed power to the pump controller.

Xin et al (2013) described an autonomous precision irrigation system through the integration of a center

pivot irrigation system with wireless underground sensor networks. The wireless underground sensor

aided center pivot system will provide autonomous irrigation management capabilities by monitoring the

13

soil conditions in real time using wireless underground sensors. Experiments were conducted with a

hydraulic drive and continuous-move center pivot irrigation system.

Robert (2013) promoted a commercial wireless sensing and control networks using valve control hardware

and software. The valve actuation system included development of custom node firmware, actuator

hardware and firmware, an internet gateway with control, and communication and web interface software.

The system uses single hop radio range using a mesh network with 34 valve actuators for controlling the

valves and water meters.

J.S. Awati and V.S. Patil, “Automatic Irrigation Control by Using Wireless Sensor Networks”. The system

was integrated with sensors into a wireless monitoring network to determine and evaluate calibration

functions for the integrated sensors. The system compares the measuring range and the reaction

time of both sensor types in a soil layer during drying. Data were transmitted over several kilometers and

made available via Internet access.

Nolz et al (2007) integrated the sensors into a wireless monitoring network to determine and evaluate

calibration functions for the integrated sensors, and compare the measuring range and the reaction

time of both sensor types in a soil layer during drying. The integration of the sensors into the telemetry

network worked well. Data were transmitted over several kilometers and made available via Internet access.

Christos et al (2014) described the design of an adaptable decision support system and its integration

with a wireless sensor/actuator network to implement autonomous closed-loop zone-specific irrigation.

Using ontology for defining the application logic emphasizes system flexibility and adaptability and

supports the application of automatic inferential and validation mechanisms. A machine learning process

is applied for inducing new rules by analyzing logged datasets for extracting new knowledge and extending

the system ontology in order to cope.

Local

Agriculture particularly irrigation, is the greatest consumer of water accounting for 88 percent of the total

water withdrawals (Philippine Water Supply Sector Roadmap 2003). However, only 47 percent of the 3.16

million hectare potentially irrigable areas are irrigated. About 95 percent of the irrigated area is devoted to

paddy rice while 70 percent of rice production comes from irrigated lands (Dayrit, 2001). Irrigation is always

presented as the cornerstone of social and economic development in agrarian South East Asia (Chea et

al. 2011). However, there are many problems associated with irrigation. One is the significant inequity in

the distribution of water across irrigation systems (Hussain et al. 2004). This is more evident in the

Philippines being archipelagic in nature. Water supply levels differ by province depending on the population

distribution, rainfall patterns, rate of groundwater recharge, and watershed quality (SEPO, 2011). Irrigation

can also be affected by water scarcity attributed to the massive degradation of the country’s watersheds

(SEPO 2011). It is estimated that 1.5 million hectares of agricultural lands draw irrigation water from

watersheds (Lasco et al. 2010). Hence, the importance of effective management of watersheds to ensure

sustainability of water for irrigation cannot be overemphasized (Bantayan, n.d). Experts project that by year

2025, water availability deficit would take place in several river basins in the country. Consequently, this

will drastically affect rice production and food security in the country. As early as 2000, water crisis has

already been identified as a result of crisis of governance. The Hague Ministerial Declaration in 2000 called

to govern water wisely to ensure good governance where involvement of the public and the interests of all

stakeholders are included in the management of water resources (Rogers & Hall, 2003). A decade has

already passed but water insecurity still exists. In fact, according to Brisco (1997), the problem on water is

most acute in developing countries. The problems associated with water can be attributed to lack of

appropriate research that will address the water problem. There is a paucity of studies done in the country

on irrigation water. Hence, this exploratory study serves as a research initiative on water governance in

15

relation to availability of water for sustainable use of the rice farmers. Specifically, the objectives were to

identify the users of irrigation water; determine the availability of irrigation water; and assessed the

sustainability of irrigation water. Through this undertaking, the concerns of water scholars and policy

makers regarding the need for a new generation of research were addressed.

Methodology, Result and Discussion


The developers took careful steps during the planning stage of the system to ensure that the final
product will be a significant improvement over the current irrigation system. These steps are as follows:

1. Maintain the supply of level of water used in the irrigation.


2. Study about the ins and outs of the information about the irrigation using sms and website.
3. To gather more information about the mechanics of how build the effective about water
irrigation.
4. After enough information is obtained from the first three steps, develop the system,
keeping in mind all the aspects that could be improved.

In “The Waterfall” approach, the whole process of software development is divided into separate
phases. The outcome of one phase acts as the input for the next phase sequentially. This means that any
phase in the development process begins only if the previous phase is complete. The waterfall model is a
sequential design process in which progress is seen as flowing steadily downwards like a waterfall.

Waterfall is the best methodology we used because :

 The requirements are clearly and accurately state, they remain unchanged throughout the entire
project development;
 Detailed documentation of each development stage provides resistance to changes in human
resources - a new developer can quickly get all the necessary information.
 Careful planning of the project development structure reduces the number of problematic issues;
 The start and the end points for each phase are set, which makes it easy to measure progress;
 The tasks remain as stable as possible throughout the development process;
 It provides easy control and transparency for the customer due to a strict system;
