Automated Water Pump

The Project

Waterlogging during heavy rainfall is a major problem for farmers. When fields get filled with water, they are unable to work, and their crops often get damaged. This not only reduces productivity but also affects food supply. The root cause of this issue is the lack of a proper drainage system in many farming areas. This video presents a simple, practical, and affordable solution to this problem: an automatic drainage system using a moisture sensor and a water pump. This setup is designed to prevent excess water from remaining in the field, especially after heavy rain. Here’s how it works: a moisture sensor is installed in the field to monitor soil water levels. When the moisture level crosses a set limit, the sensor activates the water pump. The pump then automatically drains the excess water from the field, helping to keep the soil at a healthy moisture level. This low-cost, easy-to-install solution helps farmers protect their crops, reduce losses caused by flooding, and improve overall productivity.
