Abstract
Agriculture often faces challenges such as excessive water usage, manual monitoring of soil conditions, and inefficient irrigation techniques. These issues lead to reduced crop productivity and unnecessary wastage of resources. Therefore, it becomes essential to introduce a technology-driven solution that automates and optimizes the irrigation process. The proposed Smart Irrigation System provides an intelligent and automated platform that helps farmers monitor soil moisture, control water flow, and manage irrigation schedules efficiently. This system reduces the dependency on traditional manual irrigation by using sensor-based inputs and microcontroller-driven automation. Soil moisture sensors continuously measure real-time soil conditions and trigger irrigation only when required, ensuring optimal water usage. The system also enables users to monitor field status, view moisture levels, and control irrigation through a user-friendly interface. Weather data and predefined thresholds help further improve decision-making and reduce water wastage. The Smart Irrigation System is developed using embedded electronics such as Arduino/NodeMCU along with moisture sensors, relays, and water pumps. The backend data can be stored and managed using a cloud platform or a local server to ensure efficient handling of sensor readings and irrigation logs. The system supports both automatic and manual modes of operation, giving users full control over their field activities. Additionally, users such as farmers or agricultural supervisors can log into the system to monitor crop conditions, adjust irrigation settings, and receive notifications about low moisture levels or irrigation status. This minimizes human effort while improving accuracy and efficiency in water management. Overall, the Smart Irrigation System provides a cost-effective, reliable, and environment friendly solution that enhances agricultural productivity through intelligent automation and smart water management.
