Smart Irrigation Sytem using Internet of Things

Abstract

Our country is mainly occupied with farming people so agriculture plays a very important role to development of country. And this agriculture depends on the monsoons which are not sufficient source of water .so the irrigation is used in agriculture field. Internet of things (IOT) is a milestone in the evolution of technology.IOT plays an important role in many fields, one of that is agriculture by which it can feed billion of people on earth in future. The objective of this paper is aiming to overcome this challenge, the whole system is micro control based and can be operated from remote location through wireless transmission so there is no need to concern about irrigation timing as per crop or soil condition. Sensor is used to take sensor reading of soil like moisture, temperature, air moisture and decision making is controlled by user by using microcontroller. The data received from sensor are sent to server database using arduino.the irrigation will be automated when the moisture and temperature of the field is reduced the farmer is notified with the information regarding field condition through periodically this system will be more useful in areas where there is scarcity of water and will be worth efficient with satisfying its requirements. Automation of farm activities of farm activities can transform agricultural domain being manual and static to intelligent and dynamic leading to higher production with lesser human supervision. This paper proposes an automated irrigation system which monitors and maintains the desired soil moisture content via automatic watering.
