In this project, I intended to design a small-scale, smart irrigation system through an Arduino. I sought to have the fully automated system powered through an external power source. This project is focused on the concept of automatic watering, operated through a programmed operating system. Through utilizing the Arduino in conjunction with a sensor and pump, there is a successful system that waters the spider plant on my windowsill. Although it only caters towards a single plant at the, there is room for expansion and future experimentation, to answer the question of how to decrease manual watering/labor. In the end, I conducted research on the Arduino inner-workings and programming in C++, having a truly automated watering system. **This is not entirely my work, references are linked here:
