Architecture for Smart Irrigation System using Internet of Things

Abstract

The UAE fruits and vegetables market is expected to reach 6,376.9 million, with a CAGR of 9.34% during the forecast period (2019-2024) (Hashim et. al, 2019). The UAE is located in an arid desert environment characterized by its low rainfall rates and lack of freshwater resources such as rivers and lakes. The economic and population growth in the country in the past years have led to increasing the demand of domestic, industrial and agricultural sectors for groundwater resources therefore these resources began to decline sharply. The aim of current project is to present a system for innovative and smart agriculture. Thus, the researcher would like to provide a solution that can provide appropriate quantity of water and other nutrients to improve agriculture sector. The system designed monitors the sensor data, like moisture, humidity, temperature and ultrasonic The idea uses various types of sensors and IoT based techniques to accomplish the current aim. It will help in producing the crops that are healthier with less or no chemicals. The system is helpful to the society of UAE. It will also help to save environment by avoiding groundwater pollution. The feedback provided by the system will improve the implementation of the farming process.”
