Automating Irrigation using IoT Techniques

Water is an essential resource for a life on our planet, Only three Percent of the water available on earth is fresh and two third of fresh water is locked up in ice caps and glaciers, the other sources like season rainfall in monsoonal deluges and floods cannot be easily used and fresh water demand is increasing day by day for Sanitization, Drinking, Manufacturing, Leisure and Agriculture, etc. Today the farmers are suffering from the less rain fall, reducing ground water levels and scarcity of water, so the purpose is to design an efficient system using Internet Of Things technology so that the precious water resources can be effectively used for irrigation with minimum loss, With the Integration of Technologies like GSM, GPRS, Electronic sensors and Wireless Networks the Irrigation can be automated and it will also contribute in reduction of Global Warming by reducing carbon emissions, Internet of things is nothing but the network of physical objects embedded with electronics, sensors, software, and network connectivity.
