Smart Irrigation with Intrusion Detection

Abstract

This paper proposes a comprehensive approach to smart irrigation by integrating intrusion detection mechanisms. By combining the functionalities of smart irrigation systems with intrusion detection systems (IDS), the proposed framework offers enhanced security and reliability in agricultural water management. The system employs a network of sensors weather, and soil moisture levels patterns, and other relevant parameters to optimize irrigation scheduling. Concurrently, it utilizes intrusion detection algorithms to identify and respond to unauthorized access attempts or anomalous behaviors within the irrigation infrastructure. The proposed approach represents a noteworthy advancement in the direction of sustainable and secure management of water in agriculture, contributing to improved crop yields, resource conservation, and overall perseverance in the face of emerging challenges. Additionally, by incorporating machine learning algorithms into the intrusion detection system, the framework is able to change and grow over time, enhancing its capacity to identify and neutralize possible threats. Furthermore, the system can more accurately predict when irrigation is needed by utilizing real-time data analysis and predictive modeling approaches. This maximizes water usage efficiency while reducing waste. This all-encompassing strategy encourages a more ecologically sustainable method of managing water resources while also strengthening the resilience of farming operations. Furthermore, the framework enables farmers to take educated decisions in real-time, maximizing productivity and lowering risks, by giving them actionable insights and alerts about security breaches and irrigation needs.
