Cloud based data analysis and monitoring of smart multi-level irrigation system using IoT

India is one of the countries with scarcest water resources in the world; due to poor utilization of the water resources, some parts of our country are facing the risk of draught. In order to conserve existing water resources and efficiently manage it for agriculture, recent advances in technology can be used. Internet of Things is one of such new technology which can help our country to reduce the overall impact of faulty water management in agriculture sector. In this paper, we have designed and developed a new framework for multilevel farming in urban area where cultivation space is limited. We have provided local node for each level with its individual local decision making system, sensors and actuators which is customized to the selected crop. These local nodes communicate to a centralized node via wireless communication. This centralized node is connected to a Cloud Server where the received data will be stored and processed. Cloud based data analysis and monitoring allows the user to analyze and monitor the irrigation system through internet providing ubiquitous access. Our Experimental results show reduced water consumption and better power utilization.
