Agriculture with IoT Water-Saving Irrigation
2024-05-23 11:39:18
Efficient water use is vital for sustainable agriculture. Traditional irrigation wastes water and lacks efficiency. IoT technology transforms this by enabling precise, data-driven irrigation management, optimizing water use, and boosting crop yields.
Challenges
Excessive water wastage.
Inconsistent irrigation leading to poor crop health.
High labor costs for manual irrigation.
Difficulty in real-time monitoring and adjustments.
Project Details
The IoT smart irrigation system employs sensors to monitor soil moisture, weather conditions, and water flow in real-time. These sensors send data to a cloud platform via an IoT gateway, where it is analyzed to determine the optimal irrigation schedule. The system can automatically adjust water distribution based on real-time data, ensuring precise irrigation. Farmers can access and manage the system remotely through mobile and web applications, allowing for efficient and effective irrigation management.
