Smart Precise Irrigation System

Abstract

The steady increasing requirement for food requires rapid development in food production technology. There is a wide range of crops and plants with different varieties. Various crops and plants have different requirements for water, fertilizers and sunlight. In a country like Egypt, much of the economy is based on agriculture. Egypt thrives on agriculture and farmers work day and night for the best productivity of crops. But they might be having problems in farming during natural hazards and the scheduled watering of the crops can get hampered. The main reason is lack of rain and shortcoming of land reservoir water. The continuous water removal results in the reduction of water from the earth’s surface. As a result, this leads to the increase of uncultivated land. Water wastage is also a big concern that the world faces. Nowadays water shortage is increasing day by day as a result saving water is also a topic of concern nowadays. Therefore, smart precise irrigation system has been proposed and designed so that the plants or crops can be supplied with water in a proper time interval. The proposed project objective is to utilize a microcontroller with WIFI module to get the values from the sensors and operate the actuators, while send all the information about the system over the Internet of Things clouding platform to be viewed by the administrator to monitor the smart precise irrigation system implemented
