IoT Based Plant Watering System

In urban areas, water scarcity is amplified by the extensive 25-30% use of water resources for gardening, straining municipal supplies. This paper introduces an IoT- based Plant Watering System tailored for rooftop plantations, addressing the challenge of urban space constraints. Leveraging advanced IoT technology with sensors, actuators, and a central control unit, the system monitors and manages rooftop plant watering in real time. Precise irrigation, guided by real-time soil moisture data, is pivotal. The system’ s architecture, detailed herein, strategically positions sensors for optimized rooftop gardening. Key hardware components like soil moisture sensors, microcontrollers, and water pumps, paired with C++ scripted software, ensure seamless functionality. Implementing IoT-based watering systems demonstrates substantial water conservation, with studies indicating a 3050% reduction compared to conventional methods. Cities adopting smart green solutions witness notable increases in urban green cover. IoT-driven plant care systems have led to 20-30% growth in green spaces within urban landscapes. Embracing IoT capabilities, this system automates rooftop plant watering, optimizing water use and fostering healthy growth. Preliminary trials showcased a remarkable 30% water consumption reduction compared to traditional methods, emphasizing its efficiency and sustainability in conserving urban water resources. Anticipated implementations could enhance urban green cover by 25%, significantly contributing to environmentally conscious urban ecosystems.
