Water requirement for agriculture is large. Due to inadequate rainfall, water requirement is not been able to meet. Under conventional irrigation system, irrigated land is either under irrigated or over irrigated resulting in adverse effects on crop growth and wastage of water. There is a need of an automated system. The proposed Irrigation System in this paper aims at fulfilling water requirements of the crops, by monitoring the soil moisture and other environmental parameters. The system which is based on Internet of Things, logs the sensor data to the cloud and the farmer can monitor and control all the water pumps remotely over internet using Android application. It consists of wireless sensor node with Arduino publishing sensor data to cloud using Wi-Fi module and controlling the pump using relay. The paper presents an automated irrigation system providing precision agriculture and thus preventing water wastage.
