Water Irrigation and Flood Prevention using IOT

Abstract

India is one of the largest producers of agricultural products. Main source of India’s GDP is its vast agricultural produce that accounts to 16% of the total. About 58 percent of the India’s workforce is involved in agriculture. But due to variable climatic condition of the country farmers are unprepared for these harsh and inevitable conditions. The farmers don’t have any effective way to deal with natural disasters such as drought and flooding which results in damaging of the crop and steep loss to the farmers. This research paper proposes a system through which we can reduce the problems of the farmers by automated smart irrigation system in drought conditions and smart suction pump which will suck out the excess water during flooding conditions. A database will be maintained for thorough analysis of amount of water irrigated in the fields, measurement of amount of rainfall, amount of water sucked during flooding and humidity level of soil in timeline manner. This database will be used for prediction of such climatic conditions and informing the farmers to take appropriate measures so that they can reduce or nullify the losses under such conditions.
