Cloud Accessing Based on IOT Oriented WSNs for Optimal Water Conservation in Farming

The optimal water conservation in forming using IOT-based WSNs using cloud accessing is aimed to benefit the millions of Indian farmers toward their farms timely watering requirement using scientific methods and the state-of-the-art technologies with optimum usage of resources. The system consists of wireless ambient monitoring sensors like soil moisture, temperature, etc., combined with low power wireless networks. The wireless sensor network acquires the data on continuous basis (24 * 7 mode) from the sensors and analyze in conjunction with the Indian Metrological Department’s weather predictions and makes intelligent decisions based on the available data and executes the watering activities. The information about the execution of activities will be sent to the user through email/SMS using Internet. The entire sensor’s data will be logged and stored in the cloud, and this will be used as a base for fine tuning of the intelligent irrigation systems for future to effectively meet the agricultural demands. Excess watering causes loss of minerals and rooting up of the plants and wastage of resources. This system conserves the usage of man power, electricity, and water resources optimally. In this paper, the system allows the user to schedule the irrigation timings with a provision to override the timings from any computer with a web browser. No special software or clients are required, just a web browser on a computer or mobile phone.
