IoT Based Smart Irrigation System

Abstract

A large amount of water is needed for agricultural purposes, and this is prominent. Water demand has been insufficient to meet expectations. Crop growth and water consumption are both reduced in proportion to the degree to which irrigation needs are not met. A fully automated system is required. This paper is concerned with assisting crops in meeting their water requirements by monitoring soil moisture and other environmental factors. A proposal for an irrigation system was made for this field; the primary goal of this paper is to meet the water needs of cultivated plants. Sensor data is sent to the cloud, where farmers can access and manage it remotely using their smartphones. The device includes a wireless sensor unit, an Arduino microcontroller, and a WiFi module with pump control and relay connectivity via a relay. The automatic irrigation system, which reduces wasteful water use in farming, is subject to this observation.
