Abstract
Scarcity of water resources in the world due to poor utilization of the water resources, the risk of draught in some areas largely affecting the production from agriculture sources. In order to conserve existing water resources and efficiently manage it for agriculture, recent advances in technology can be used. Internet of Things is one of such new technology which can help our country to reduce the overall impact of faulty water management in agriculture sector. Interconnection of number of devices through internet describes the Internet of things (IoT). Every object is connected with each other through unique identifier so that data can be transferred without human to human interaction. Main objective of this work is for Farming where various new technologies yield higher growth of the crops and their water supply. Automated control features with latest electronic technology using microcontroller which turns the pumping motor ON and OFF on detecting the dampness content of the earth and GSM phone line is proposed after measuring the temperature, humidity, and soil moisture.
