Lora based smart irrigation system

Abstract

Among many countries in the world, India is considered as the greatest agricultural producer. On the other hand, the water consumption in India for agricultural purposes is highest in the world. It leads to water deficit in the country. The development of agriculture in India improves crop yields and reduces water use. Water is the important key factor for any form of life on Earth which includes humans, animals and plants. Among these plants consume more world’s water resources. The amount of water intended for irrigation represents 70% of the total water Irrigation forms one of the primary components of agriculture and food-production. Huge volume of water is wasted in Agriculture due to outdated techniques in Agriculture irrigation field. In order to reduce water consumption without decreasing the crop yields, there are many modern technologies available, Among the many technologies, LoRa technology has many advantages like long rage wireless communication, low power consumption, compact size etc… This project is to present several efficient irrigation systems using “LoRa based wireless sensor networks”, which consists of soil moisture sensor, soil temperature sensor, light sensor, water flow sensor, 3 phase voltage sensor and current sensor.
