Agrotronics Watering System

Agrotronics Watering System (AWS) is an autonomous watering system designed to work standalone in
applying controlled amounts of water to the soil based on sensor’s feedback. In the field of agriculture, this process
is also called water irrigation. Current watering system that we have today in the market uses a Timer or manual
labours to irrigate the soil. These methods have their own disadvantages. For example, by using a Timer, the soil still
gets irrigated even if it is raining outside. On the other hand, employing manual labours to take care of the plants
can be extremely costly as well. Therefore, AWS was built to address these problems by simply answering the
questions of “When do I water?” and “How long do I water?”. The best part is that AWS comes with its own
Windows application which allows the users to monitor the irrigation system in real time. The sensor’s data shown
by this application can be exported into an excel worksheet for further analysis later on. After integrating AWS into
the gardening process as in my project, I have managed to resolve my watering problems permanently. AWS has
also managed to reduce my water and electricity bills drastically as well. As a conclusion, gardening has been a great
amusement for me after AWS is introduced.
