Sustainable Water Usage in Agriculture Through IOT Based Automation

– In the past, farmers would have to assume the fertility of soil and speculate what crop could grow. They didn’t know about the humidity, position of water and especially rainfall conditions impacted planting crops. Now, the Internet of Things (IOT) is educating farmers, empowering them with the possibilities of modern, proficient or even sustainable agriculture to face obstacles of farming. The technology of IOT allows farmers to gather information about the conditions of rainfall, temperatures and humidity. Using IOT technology, farmers can access their farm from anywhere and anytime. Wireless sensor networks can cover the farm conditions and microcontrollers can be used to regulate and automate farm processes. A smart phone can also provide farmers access at any time of every farming condition around the world using IOT. The technology of IOT can help reduce the costs and increase the demanding efficiency of traditional agriculture.
