Automated Irrigation System Using IoT Cloud Computing

In India, 85% freshwater is used in agriculture. This percentage continues to lead in water consumption. The population evolution and increased food demand are one of the primary factors of water maximum utilization. Therefore, primarily, agriculture is contingent on the monsoon, which is not an adequate source of water. So, irrigation is lively in the agricultural zone. Nowadays, with the constant evolution of Artificial Intelligence, IOT and Robotics, the development of monitoring and observing the garden from manual and static, can be transformed into a smart, dynamic one that is central to higher convertibility, water use productivity, and fewer human supervision exertion. This paper focuses on Internet of Things (IOT) computing, smart garden surveying, and irrigation structure, using Mega 2560. The proposed system uses a microcontroller, sensors, and a cloud server that provides real-time web concluded through a Wi-Fi network. The observed data, directed endlessly to the ThingSpeak IOT cloud. The data gathered in the cloud from the system is examined and analyzed. When the target threshold of soil moisture is touched, an action is sent consequently, cloud to the smart irrigation system to irrigate the garden. The microcontroller (Arduino Mega 2560) is implemented to design the control unit. IOT is primarily used to keep the garden owner updated about the position of the sprinklers. The data are frequently updated by the sensors on the IOT cloud. In addition to this, readings are transmitted by the sensors to a cloud channel to produce graphs for analysis.
