Abstract: This paper describes a cost-effective water saving IoT based intelligent irrigation system for agriculture. Today, the farmers are suffering from the lack of resources, rains and scarcity of water. The objective of this paper is to design a smart irrigation system that would be useful for water management. In this IoT based system a moisture sensoris used to sense the moisture content present in the soil and according to that the water irrigation will be controlled by a microcontroller. A filter is also introduced for the purification of water as per requirement. There is no need of GSM modules or any wireless transmission gateway which makes the cost of the system around Rs. 1000/- which makes it economically affordable for Indian farmers. So, there is a need of saving water for which we need a smart technology that is an intelligent irrigation system that will help us to manage the usage of water in agriculture.
Keywords: IoT, Smart Agriculture.
