Abstract: Ever since man has started use of modern methods of farming there was always a problem of doing water irrigation simple and less time consuming as well as effortless. Efforts are taken to solve this problem movable water reel sprinkler irrigation is a simple method used now a days. It assist growing of crops, maintaining landscapes and re-vegetation of disturbed soil in dry areas. The main aim of our project is to reduce the efforts required for irrigating on large acre of land. In low lying areas where there is water shortage drip irrigation cannot be incorporated for irrigation purpose. As a result the farmers in these areas make use of flexible pipes which can be connected and disconnected this increases the cost associated with labour and is also a time consuming process.Other problems like ground furrows causes wastage of water this may lead to soil erosion. The initial and operation cost of drip irrigation is slightly expensive. In case of chocking of this pipes entire pipe has to be inspected this increases the maintenance cost. This movable water reel sprinkler irrigation system is a step towards solving the above mentioned problems .This systemwhich works on principle of pressurizing water and sprinkling through separate attachment of sprinkler. With help of this water sprinkling as well as fertilizing will be more easy and done with negligible efforts.
