ABSTRACT

Water is an essential component for the development of plants in agriculture or irrigation. Excess of irrigation water not only reduces crop yield but also damages soil fertility and also causes ecological hazards like water wasting and salinity. This chapter offers a cloud-based drip irrigation technology to help the farmers; and this technology was created to enhance the watering system framework and to reduce the cost of the watering system. Sensors were placed in the farm and signals were sent continuously to wireless module frame (control station). The data was further transmitted to remote sensor hub. The proposed system aims to conserve water up to a large extent by providing automatic and manual modes of irrigation. The system can be monitored by the user on an android application.
