Precision Agriculture Using LORA Radar Based SmartIrrigation Monitoring System

Precision irrigation with internet of sensors and information has proven to be effective for optimal use of water which is very scarce. The availability of a rigorous electronic connectivity and communication system gives scope to irrigate farms with precision consequently leading to lesser water usage. The state-of-the-art in this involves GPS sensors and internet of things (IoT) based communication. The use of LORA for centrally controlled irrigation system spanning several farms has been recently gaining interest. This paper proposes the development of a LORA based IoT central control system module to optimally irrigate farms that are spatially apart. The main idea is to automate the supply of water across spatially distant farms using LORA radar as a communication component and IoT as an automation component. The key benefits of this approach is optimal water usage and reduced manpower leading to precision agriculture.
