Most of the urban areas in India depend on Government water supply for their daily usage. The amount of water supply will be limited and provided in a short period of time by the Government. According to the climate and environmental changes the amount of water will be varied. Now many private companies have emerged in the field of water supply to sell water to gain huge profit. But still Government water supply is the main source for common people in urban areas of India. Most of the water connections are given to the individual home by plastic or steel pipes through underground or overground. It is very easy for a person to steal the water from the pipeline illegally. Others cannot identify the theft easily and they will be cheated. Consequently, water availability/supply for the homes in that area will be reduced. A system has been proposed in the paper to find and stop the water theft in an area using the sensors and IoT technology. This system can also identify the leakage of pipes anywhere in the line.
A fundamental way to schedule irrigation is possible through the continuous monitoring and management of soil moisture. Soil moisture is directly related to soil water content and this water content will affect the quantity of nutrients available to plants and soil aeration status. Proper irrigation can be done with the help of the accurate measurement of soil moisture. This proposed system is capable to collect the soil moisture content using watermark 200SS sensor and will be recorded in the permanent storage medium and will be accessible through wireless media. The soil moisture value is calculated in Centibar (cb) or Pascal ( SI unit ) based on the resistance value of soil moisture sensor and temperature sensor.This cost-effective system will be useful for irrigation, automatic plant watering, and get the details of the soil moisture. The system has been tested in different environmental conditions and verified the values. The system is completely powered by solar energy and consuming very less amount of processing power to run.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
