Smart irrigation system using weather forecast with using wireless sensor network for monitoring soil parameters

Abstract

This project deals with enhanced water conservation using weather forecast which collects data from a web page about the rain prediction and then accordingly adjusts and delays the irrigation cycle .It also consist of WSN which monitors soil parameters like humidity, temperature, etc, which communicates with the coordinator ,using ZigBee protocol, which then sends updates to the farmer via SMS using GSM protocol. .Based upon the sensors value from the eld and rainfall forecast obtained from the internet, irrigation cycle of crop is modi ed..Hence ,we will develop an experimental setup to implement the proposed idea which can be easily and e ectively extended to actual crop eld. Ultimately ,this reduces the fresh water consumption and irrigation costs by maximizing the crop yields.
