ABSTRACT
This research work undertakes the development of water pumping system (with emphasis on
Irrigation) that is capable of automatically managing water budgets from a reservoir through
a microcontroller subsystem. The water pumping for irrigation system can be used in gardens,
farms, urban/rural water supply systems, and in fact, general water management systems for
both domestic and industrial applications. The key objective of this research is to develop a
user-friendly and efficient water management system that has the capability to irrigate farms
based on automated algorithm, logic and electronic circuitry. The entire water pumping
system is comprised water of store/reservoir, water-level sensor,(micro)controller, filter,
pump, valves, soil-moisture-content sensor and software system. In this study, most of these
were implemented but filters and valves were not implemented because of the scope of this
study. The Object Oriented System Analysis and Design (OOSAD) methodology was used
for the analysis and development of the system under consideration. The software application
communicates directly with a microcontroller unit and uses manual over-ride approach in
some cases to manage water budgets. The water-level sensor checks the level of water
storage in a reservoir and reports to an electronic controller; the soil-moisture-content sensor
checks the soil moisture content and also reports to the controller. The water pumping
software for irrigation system was developed using the following languages: C# for Windows
application development, for establishing routines and relationships; Embedded C was used
in defining status and processes in the Aduino Uno microcontroller; PHPMyAdmin as a
database management system and MYSQL relational database server version 5.5 as the
backend for storing user inputs from the frontend. The water-pumping software for irrigation
system provides the user interface providing irrigation in gardens or farms. The system was
able to perform as expected; pumping water from reservoir which can be used to irrigate farms or gardens.
