Abstract:
Irrigation management is one of the major components of agriculture management. It is very important to supply
exact amount of water to the agricultural field for obtaining optimum utilization of resources. There is some
inefficiency in traditional and existing irrigation management systems. The fact that, water is valuable limited natural
resource, so reducing water wastage is a timely action for current situation. This paper presents a suggested solution,
its implementation details and result analysis of it. It is titled as Mobile Phone Assisted Irrigation Management
System. It is designed to maintain the water level of soil in its optimum level, in order to obtain the maximum yield. So
as to give a better solution for agronomist, this system can be controlled in different locations with the use of smart
phone. The system is also capable of providing information of the field such as temperature and humidity apart from
soil moisture content that enables the user to get a better understanding of the field conditions. Optimum water
utilization will increase the performance of irrigation system by reducing the water wastage. Also this system will
assure the required quality of the crops which met and will suit the current situation in Sri Lanka as well as the world.
