A NEW IOT-BASED SMART IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Abstract

Most fresh water is used in agriculture. There has been a constant interest in presenting systems and solutions that rationalize water resources in agriculture without reducing productivity. In contrast the solutions must improve production while utilizing less water. On the other hand, The Internet of Things is a prominent recent technology that provides various solutions in many disciplines, including agriculture and irrigation. This paper proposes an Internet-of-Things-based architecture for smart irrigation by developing a prototype with a controller unit, water pumps, and sensors. These systems monitor the soil's irrigation needs and determine the right amount based on sensor data. As these values are delivered through cloud computing to a user's mobile app, irrigation may be monitored and controlled from multiple angles. This comprises manual irrigation mode, automatic irrigation mode, and determine the right amount of irrigation based on sensor relationships.
