With the advent of globalization, urbanization and modernization, water degradation has become an major concern today. Farming in India is still done as per traditional method that requires plenty of usage of water. Drip system has resolved this issue to some extent. But this system has suffered with overhead of continuous parameter checking and manual control. This paper focuses on designing of a smart drip irrigation system that comprises of sensing the moisture of soil which automatically controls switching of pump and valve with low consumption of available power. Automatic sensing of parameters remotely controls the drip valves of system. User friendly interface allows irrigation control with ease and less efforts. The moisture sensor will continuously sense the moisture content inthe soil. The temperature sensor continuously monitors the temperature and if it is above threshold value then spraying system will turn on which will reduce crop temperature.
