Abstract: Managing water well in farming is a big challenge. Climate change and lack of water worldwide make it hard to manage water well. Both agriculture and agricultural irrigation use machinery designed to give water to plants without any person’s intervention, it is possible to do this process using small controlled and huge uncontrolled irrigation. The research proposes a cloud application that uses the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to monitor soil moisture constantly and fetches related weather data to improve water particularly for outdoor crops. The objective of this research is to assess whether the technology can help save water compared to the conventional method. The project requires gathering soil moisture data using IoT sensors in an open field environment, integrating it with instant weather parameters and developing an algorithm in a cloud platform to specify irrigation schedules. The data will be analyzed for the next four weeks to find out the correlation with the environmental factors of the soil moisture which will help in decision-making for irrigation. The study reveals uses of IoT and Cloud Computing in precision agriculture which helps in saving water, enhancing the health of the crop, and sustainability of farming. This research’ findings aim to offer a practical course of action for agriculture sectors to implement smart irrigation and effective management of resources under different environmental conditions.
