Maximizing Crop Yields and Water Efficiency through Tailored Irrigation System Design and Crop Selection

Today various water-pump operating systems are available in the market, which allows the user/farmer to operate his water-pump from a distant location using mobile app or on a phone call to the system which is integrated with the water-pump. While studying the existing system we came across a problem that, existing systems does not provide any solution for optimizing the usage of water and power. Optimizing the use of power and water in farming has become a real-time problem these days. To overcome this problem, we have proposed an IOT based system "Advanced Irrigation System". This system provides automation for operating the water pump in the farm by automatically turning ON and OFF the water-pump depending on the type of the crop and its moisture requirements. Also, proposed system provides farmer interface via a mobile application in his regional language, where he can check the moisture, humidity and temperature of his farm. Along with this proposed system has a Google Assistant integrated, using which famer can operate the water-pump remotely over a voice command.
