Automatic Smart Irrigation System Using IOT

Abstract

India's population has reached beyond 1.2 billion and the population rate is increasing day by day, so after 25-30 years there will be serious problem of food, such that the development of agriculture is necessary. Today, farmers incur the problem of water scarcity due to lack of rain. The main objective of this project is to provide an automatic irrigation system that saves time, money of the farmer. The traditional farm land irrigation techniques require manual intervention. With the automated technology of irrigation, the human intervention can be minimized. Whenever there is a change in humidity of the soil, the sensor senses the humidity change and irrigates the field automatically using a popular technology called the 'Internet of Things'. The project makes use of simple IoT technology and is economic making it feasible even in economically backward areas.
