IoT-Based Smart Irrigation System—A Hardware Review

Abstract

India is a subcontinent with a population of about 1.38 billion. In 2020, India's population is almost 18% of the human population on earth. It is a worrisome and concerning matter. In the event that the populace continues expanding in light of current circumstances, at that point, shortly, there will be a scarcity of food. Today's farming area is enduring because of the helpless yielding of harvests in light of an absence of rain and poor watering framework. This research paper aims to introduce a computerized water system framework that is not time-consuming, cost-efficient, and reduces the farmer's heavy workload. The conventional watering procedures like the dribble water system, the dekhli water system, the manual water system, and the sprinkler water system require many working hours and tedious work. Additionally, water wastage is a great matter of concern with these systems, as they waste thousands of liter of water. With automated frameworks, farmer's heavy work can be diminished. It can detect any adjustment in their environmental factors and adjust according to the climate and send the signal to its controllers about any significant change that can harm the crops or farmland.
