Routine Irrigation System Controlled and Monitored by IoT Using Sensors

In the Indian sub-continent, one-third of the economy completely depends on agriculture and agriculture is a foremost occupation for Indians. Agriculture is the most significant and oldest profession for Indian families. Here, agriculture is varied from terrain to terrain based on the soil conditions, rainfall, and a lot more. Watering farmland is one challenging task for the farmers and now recent technologies may help the farmers to impoverish their farmland in terms of yield of cultivation. Inculcating advanced emerging technologies in agriculture can able to provide a solution for their prevalent issue called irrigation. The agriculture of a nation gets enhanced then the economy can be increased so, this article suggests an novel idea for the welfare of farmers and this concept might be supporting farmers to irrigate their farmlands from dawn to dusk. Nearly five million tube-wells were irrigating Indian farmlands and farmers are controlling the quantity of water discharges to the fields manually and hence water resources are wasted by over watering the fields. In this view to save water and workload of the farmers, this proposed methodology provides a solution for the above-listed difficulties using IoT. This proposed system was premeditated to surmount the superfluous water flow into the agricultural farming lands and also provides an intellectual monitoring platform framework. This includes sensor networks that can able sense pH level, rate of water flow with temperature and soil moisture conditions. This data is supportive of the smart irrigation system to water the field on time with the required amount of water to the fields. With a soil moisture content of 60%, the maximum temperature has been set at 32 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature can range from 15 to 28 degrees Celsius.
