Integration of Remote Sensing and IoT for Real-Time Monitoring of Irrigation in Smart Farming

Smart farming, enabled by the integration of Remote Sensing (RS) and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, represents a revolutionary approach to modern agriculture. This paper explores the synergistic application of RS and IoT for real-time monitoring of irrigation practices in smart farming systems. Remote sensing provides a bird's-eye view of agricultural landscapes, capturing crucial data on crop health, soil moisture, and environmental conditions. Concurrently, IoT devices deployed in the field offer ground-level data, including real-time sensor readings and feedback from automated irrigation systems. The integration of these two technologies facilitates a comprehensive and dynamic understanding of the agricultural environment. This paper discusses the challenges, methodologies, and benefits of integrating RS and IoT in the context of irrigation management. The proposed framework enhances precision agriculture by enabling timely decision-making, optimizing water usage, and improving overall farm productivity.
