Low-cost irrigation system based on multi-tenant and WSN technologies

The increase in irrigated crop areas lead to the requirements for freshwater will in fact rise significantly.Considering this kind of need, this study aims to develop a low cost irrigation system that provide the monitoring and control of irrigated agriculture using Cloud Computing, Internet of Things(IoT) to improve the efficiency of water use in irrigated agriculture and reduce the cost of the solution.In this paper, an irrigation system driven by Internet of Things and cloud based web application is developed.The web application uses a multi-tenant web framework (MWF) that can provide costeffective services for scenarios where a large number of small tenants, only some of which are active at the same time.The system uses wireless sensor network(WSN) communication technology to integrate various sensors, solenoid valves and edge devices scattered throughout the crop area for monitoring and control.The solution significantly improves water use efficiency while reducing costs, making it attractive to users.
