 Introduction
Irrigation is one of the serious problem in the agriculture sector of devolving
countries.[1]
Because of isotropic envoirmental conditions we are not able to utilize our
agriculture resources properly.[2]
Low rainfall
Not proper planned of resources of water by the customers, due to this reasons
water is wasted.[3]
In this automatic system the plants are watered from the harvested rain water
whenever needed.[4]

 Market Share
Everyone knows in Pakistan 35% people live below poverty line but what is the
root of poverty is know to very few. According to new research the reason of this
poverty is “Unorganized Farming”
In 2019, agriculture contributed around 22.04 percent to the GDP of Pakistan.
[5]
This system will have very high market throughout the world.
So we are trying to make a compact and efficient system in low cost that farmer
can afford.

[6]
Some other researchers design a movable panel to protect agriculture fields. Farmer
using IOT technology. Farmer can move panel according to his crop requirement. If
the Farmer doesn’t reply the system Works in automatic mode such that the moisture
sensor connected in land detects the moisture level in land and initiates the
appropriate action required increasing the yields

[7]
In another research, researchers authorized a novel system that is helping in
protecting the home applications and some other important material against rain also
introduce a smart system which is specifically designed to protect vehicles
cultivated crops , etc. from rain. This system includes and electromechanical design
to implement automatic room mechanism. This paper also compared and contrasted
some system and described their important disadvantages and some features.

 Problem Definition
Agriculture is one of the main source of economic development in Pakistan.
Despite of this much importance , we are still on the old method of irrigations.

Unplanned usage of water which leads water scarcity.

Due to heavy rain excess amount of water is used which can damage the crops.
