Abstract: Making an automated water pumping system is the aim of this project. This technology is able to detect the amount of
soil moisture and makes an intelligent judgement regarding whether to turn on or turn off the water motor based on the amount
of moisture in the soil. The motor is also powered by solar energy. Where people live and work, electricity is essential. The level
of affluence and living conditions of a country directly affect its use of power. Due to industrial development, an increase in the
use of electrical equipment, and other factors, the demand for energy globally is rising at an alarming rate.We obtain nearly 80%
of our energy from traditional fossil fuels like coal (23%) and natural gas (21%) as well as oil (36%), according to the World
Energy Report. It is well recognised that eventually, all of these resources will be entirely depleted. Alternative energy sources
should therefore be used to prevent an energy catastrophe in the near future. Solar power is the best alternative energy source.
I. INTRODUCTION
The most significant source of energy in the planet is solar energy. Currently, solar energy lessens the usage of fossil fuels and
lowers electricity prices in addition to being a natural energy source. Solar energy is energy that is transformed into thermal or
electrical energy from the sun. Making an automated water pumping system is the aim of this project. The photovoltaic solar panel
will track solar energy from the sun, generating direct current that is stored in the battery and allowing the system to sense the soil's
moisture content and make an informed decision about whether to turn on or off the motor.The microcontroller kit will include a
temperature sensor. Water level sensors are positioned in tanks, and moisture sensors are introduced into the ground. A photo
controller is an intelligent gadget that can carry out the task when a moisture sensor detects it during operation. The water level
sensor and motor are connected to the pic controller via a relay. Through a relay, the motor receives energy from the solar panel.
Moreover, a battery is used to store solar energy. The controller continuously checks the moisture level and decides whether to turn
the motor on or off based on that level. Using embedded C, the microcontroller
II. OBJECTIVE
1) To create a water pumping system for irrigation that runs on solar power
2) To create a pumping system with the least amount of human involvement.
3) A mechanism to clean the surface of solar panel.
IV. METHODOLOGY
The system consists of solar panel, battery, water tank, and different sensor namely temperature sensor, moisture sensor and water
level sensor.

The solar panel will l observe the solar energy from the sun which results in the generation of direct current which will be stored in
the battery. Temperature sensor will be placed in the microcontroller kit, moisture sensor are inserted into the land, water level
sensor is placed in tank. During the operation, moisture sensor Sense the moisture of land and temperature sensor sense the
temperature of the atmosphere, water level sensor sense water level in the tata and gives the signal to the operator through a phone
SMS.The SMS consist of AL information regarding moisture level of land temperature of atmosphere and tht water level in the
tank.

VII. CONCLLUSION
In India there are many village which are totally dependent on agriculture. So, for the betterment of automated pumping system is
important, however because to a lack of electricity farmers are unable to timely water their land .So the solar based automated
water pumping system this technology also help in proper management of electricity and time.this strategy boosts crop growth and
yeild which aids in the nation economic development
