Abstract

In recent days, the scarcity of power and water has become a major challenge in the field of agriculture. The traditional techniques used in agriculture are still needed major improvements in the direction of multitasking on many concerns like observing the water level periodically, natural resource utilization, and soil health analysis. In this paper, an automatic irrigation system based on the Internet of Things (IoT), solar power, sensors, and the embedded controller is implemented. The smart irrigation system proposed here is to support people who are involved in agriculture in terms of effective utilization of natural resources like solar energy and water resource. By using smart irrigation systems people can overcome the problems of scarcity of electricity and water wastage. The proposed design is found to be effective and efficient for the small irrigation areas.
