Water Monitoring System in Agriculture Through Wireless Devices

Abstract

Irrigation of farmlands is a tough task to farmers, and due to electricity issues in villages, the overhead increases. Breaking of bund and overflow of water to other farmlands is a big issue to a farmer in spite of his/her loss due to drowning of crops. India being the economy of farmlands, farmers are contributing 74% to it. Therefore, any problem of farmers is the problem of the country. To protect this, farmers have to watch over tube well and bunds the whole time until the irrigation is done. Due to electricity issues in village areas, farmers many times need to spend their complete night in the farmlands, and especially in winters when it's chilly out there. So, to help farmers in this, the authors propose a device that helps farmers do so in an easy way. The visual surveillance and machine learning will now do this job for the farmer.
