Project Title:

IoT-Based Smart Irrigation System

 Objective:

To develop a smart irrigation system that uses IoT sensors to monitor soil moisture levels and optimize water usage for efficient agricultural irrigation.

 Project Summary:

This project aims to create an automated irrigation system that uses IoT-enabled sensors to monitor the moisture content of the soil. The data collected by the sensors is sent to a cloud platform for processing. Based on the soil’s moisture level, the system automatically controls the water supply to the plants. Users can access the system via a mobile or web application, enabling them to monitor real-time soil moisture levels and control the irrigation remotely. This helps conserve water, improve crop yield, and reduce the need for manual intervention.

Key Components:

Hardware: Soil moisture sensors, water pump or solenoid valve, microcontroller (ESP32/Arduino), Wi-Fi/GSM module

Software: Cloud platform (ThingSpeak, Firebase), Mobile/Web app for real-time monitoring, Automated irrigation control

Technologies: IoT, Cloud Computing, Real-Time Monitoring, Automation, Wireless Communication

Features:

Real-time soil moisture level monitoring

Automated water control based on soil moisture thresholds

Remote control and monitoring via mobile/web app

Water conservation and efficient irrigation

Data analytics and historical usage trends for better decision-making

Applications:

Agricultural farms (crop irrigation)

Smart home gardens and lawns

Commercial landscaping

Greenhouses and horticulture operations

Outcome:

This project demonstrates how IoT can significantly improve water management in agriculture. It offers an efficient and sustainable solution to irrigation, reducing water wastage and promoting healthier crop growth. It showcases the power of automation and real-time data in modern farming.
