IoT Based Autonomous Irrigation System

The earth's most important aspect responsible for supporting life is water. Although there is plenty of water available on the earth, we cannot fully utilize it as most of it is in the form of oceans. It seems fascinating that only 3 percent of the earth's water is fresh, out of which most of it is frozen in ice caps. Humans have developed methods for cultivation of crops and production of livestock called as agriculture. As agriculture revolves around water usage in order for the plants to grow, there comes the need to utilize the available water effectively. The ever increasing enhancements in technology over the years have made significant changes on how things are done. The introduction of Internet of Things has made it possible for different devices to work in sync, gather and exchange information that can either be monitored real time or logged for further use. Hence, using this technology in irrigation may not only reduce the manual labor of farmers but also help in saving water by controlling the usage.
