Smart water management framework for irrigation in agriculture.

Global demand and pressure on natural resources is increasing, which is greater on the availability of pure and safe drinking water. The use of new-age technologies including Smart sensors, embedded devices, and Cloud computing can help deliver efficient and safe management for provisioning drinking water for consumers and irrigation for agriculture. The management actions combined with real-time data gathering, monitoring, and alerting with proactive actions, prevent issues from occurring. This research presents a secure and smart research framework to enhance the existing irrigation system. This involves a low-budget irrigation model that can provide automated control and requirements as per the season, climate by using smart device sensors and Cloud communications. The authors presented four unique algorithms and water management processing rules. This also includes alerting scenarios for device and component failures and water leakage by automatically switching to alternative mode and sending alert messages about the faults to resolve the operational failures.The objective of this research is to identify new-age technologies for providing efficient and effective farming methods and investigate Smart IoT-based water management. The highlights of this research are to investigate IoT water management systems using algorithms for irrigation farming, for which this research presents a secure and smart research framework. This involves a low-budget irrigation model that provides automated control and requirements as per the season, climate by using smart device sensors and Cloud communications. Alerts for device and component failures and water leakage are also in-built for switching to alternative mode to resolve the operational failures.
