IoT based Smart Irrigation System
Agriculture has always been the backbone of Pakistan's economy. About 70% of the population in Pakistan is related to agriculture directly or indirectly. Its share towards GDP is more than 25 %. Various problems related to agriculture are constantly hampering the development of the nation. Agriculture in Pakistan uses 93 % of the water that's available while significantly 60 % of that water is wasted during Irrigation. The reason behind the wastage of water is the lack of knowledge about irrigation scheduling and proper irrigation system. The possible option is to make irrigation smart using IoT. IoT is the fastest-growing technology in every domain of society, especially in agriculture. The leading characteristic of this project is that it will reduce the wastage of water during irrigation alongside many more advantages like Maintaining the right level of moisture for soil, utilizing an extra amount of rainwater for irrigation, reducing human efforts, and increasing the productivity of crops. We use a soil moisture sensor so that the irrigation system doesn't water when the soil is already wet. For the automatic irrigation system, we used a rain sensor to avoid irrigation when it's raining. We also proposed a water drainage system in case of excess rainfall. If there is no internet connection for the farmer, then he will receive a message on his mobile phone about the update of his field. The sensors used in the system collect the data from the soil and send it to the IoT web server for easy monitoring of the field. We will design an android mobile application as well as a website so that farmers can monitor their field from anywhere in the country.
