Abstract

Water is very important in farming because it is becoming scarcer. This study suggests a Smart Irrigation System that is powered by AI. This system uses Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things, and satellite technology to monitor farming activities and resources. This system will use many distributed IoT devices that will monitor the various soil and environmental conditions. DHT11 will monitor the moisture and temperature, and other sensors will monitor rain, NPK nutrients, and PIR. These sensors will use LoRa technology to cover large fields and monitor soil and environmental conditions. These sensors will be used to relay data, stream sensor data, and process data in real time. This data will be used to capture and analyze satellite and camera imagery. This monitoring will help to pinpoint and analyze stress, diseased crops, pests, animals, and other problems. Seasonal and predictive machine learning models will analyze weather data to create irrigation schedules. Smart Irrigation uses sensors to monitor the irrigation levels of crops and in turns manage the irrigation system. Energy and water diversion will be controlled by the smart irrigation system to conserve resources. Farmers can get alerts and system controls through a web-based system. They will have access to real-time data, as well as historical and predictive reports. Experimental assessment shows better irrigation and water savings as well as additional crop yields over the standard method. The proposed framework provides a scalable, affordable, and climate-smart solution for smart farming, aiding in data-driven agricultural management, and promoting sustainability in the long term.
