IoT Based Smart Irrigation Monitoring and Controlling System

Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) is an interconnection of devices that can used to transfer information over the internet and to control operations. In many rural areas, electricity supply can be unpredictable, often being available only during the night time. This makes difficult for farmers to manage irrigation, as they need to turn on water pumps at night. Operating water pumps at night poses risks. Farmers may encounter wild animals or other dangers while working in their fields during night hours. There have been chances where farm fields have caught fire, leading to significant crop loss. The lack of real-time communication is also major reason to this problems. Farmers often lack the means to communicate effectively with their fields, especially when issues like power supply, wild animals, or fires arise.
