Automated Water-Gate Controlling System for Paddy Fields

The Internet of things (IoT) is an attractive technology being used in almost every aspect of the world today. It allows connecting any of the objects that want to communicate with each other and to transfer data without human interaction. In this paper proposed system is discussed on canal automation for a smart irrigation system using IoT concepts. Automated Water Gate Controlling System collects few environmental factors through a smart module embedded with sensors to communicate with the water gate of the paddy field. Cloud computing is used to store a large amount of data gathered by the sensor module. All real-time sensed data are processed and demonstrated on a web dashboard with a convenient graphical user interface along with a rain and reservoir water level prediction analysis to the users. Automation supports distance monitoring and controlling by allowing minimum human intervention. This paper provides a solution for traditional irrigation systems to confront rural farming interferences and global climatic changes via a cloud-based automated wireless communication system to water their paddy fields, monitor them and smartly control them.
