B. Project Description:
• Our Proposal
i. Explaining the technology:
Our project involves the use of IOT and different sensors for implementing smart agricultural and
monitoring system. Our technological proposal is divided into three major portions:
▪ Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting and storage in tanks which are equipped with level sensors so
that when the water falls below a certain level an SMS alert is send to the farmer. The rainwater
stored is then given to the agricultural fields.
▪ Use of different sensors in the agricultural field(ph sensor, moisture sensor, Humidity sensor,
proximity sensor) for analyzing and sending data to raspberry pi remotely which is then being
send to Krishi Helpline for crop monitoring for maximum crop production.
▪ Use of solar power to need the power requirements of various sensors and also to power the
water pump, connected circuitry, embedded circuits and associative devices also connected with
conventional power sources during monsoons, night time or any solar power failure.
▪ Remote monitoring of data i.e. sensor outputs which can further be used for analyzing the data
or for visualizing the data by adopting an efficient mean.
ii. Components involved:
▪ Raspberry Pi:
Raspberry Pi is also known as a single board microcomputer with vast applications. In our
project Raspberry Pi is used to keep a track of the data generated by the various sensors
connected to the agriculture field & send it to the web server which also can be used for data
analysis purpose or data visualization.
▪ pH Sensor:
The CS526 isolated pH probe makes reliable, accurate pH measurements in aqueous solutions. It
can be submersed or inserted into tanks, pipelines, and open channels. This probe has a serial,
TTL output that represents a 2 to 12 pH range.

▪ Proximity Sensor:
A proximity sensor is a sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical
contact. A proximity sensor often emits an electromagnetic field or a beam of electromagnetic
radiation (infrared, for instance), and looks for changes in the field or return signal. The object
being sensed is often referred to as the proximity sensor's target.
▪ Solar powered water pump:
Photovoltaic solar panels absorb sunlight as a source of energy to generate electricity. A
photovoltaic (PV) module is a packaged, connected assembly of typically 6x10 photovoltaic
solar cells. Photovoltaic modules constitute the photovoltaic array of a photovoltaic system that
generates and supplies solar electricity in commercial and residential applications. The energy
form a solar panel can be effectively stored in a battery for later use.
C. Conclusion:
“The smart agriculture market is expected to reach $18.45 Billion in 2022 at a CAGR of 13.8%”.
IOT serves as a powerful, reliable and cost effective technology to implement the idea of “Smart
Village” that aims to empowerment of villages with advance connectivity through web service,
measurement of environment factors like Soil moisture, temperature, humidity and implementing
cloud computing along with real time monitoring using GSM system.
