Abstract

ABSTRACT The electromechanical water spraying machine is designed to monitor and manage water distribution efficiently within a given farm land. It has the ability to detect the water level of its source and activates the spraying mechanism when needed. The system comprises of several interconnected units to ensure proper functionality. The block diagram includes a power supply, a microcontroller unit, a sensor unit, an indicator unit, and a pump control unit. The power unit is responsible for supplying electrical power to the entire system, the microcontroller tells other units of the system on what to do based on the signals sent from the sensor. The sensor unit detects the water level of the source and sends out corresponding signals to the controller unit. The indicator unit only serve as a medium of notifying the user of the current status of the water level, while the pumping unit sprays out the water to the crop on the farm land.
