Problem Definition
Traditional irrigation wastes water due to manual control.
Crops may get damaged due to lack of timely watering.
Farms are vulnerable to animal or human intrusion.
Manual monitoring of fields is difficult and time-consuming.
There is a need for an automated irrigation and protection system.
Methodology
Soil moisture sensor measures soil water level.
Arduino microcontroller processes sensor data.
Relay module controls water pump automatically.
Servo motor rotates sensors for wider area coverage.
PIR sensor detects motion in the field.
Buzzer and LED alert when motion is detected.
