A WiFi-Based Sensor Network for Flood Irrigation Control in Agriculture

The role of agriculture in society is vital due to factors such as providing food for the population, a major source employment worldwide, and one most important sources revenue countries. Furthermore, recent years, interest optimizing use water resources has increased aspects climate change. This led introduction technology fields by means sensor networks that allow remote monitoring control cultivated lands. In this paper, we present system flood irrigation comprised network based on WiFi communication. Different sensors measure atmospheric parameters temperature, humidity, rain, soil salinity, height decide need activating floodgates irrigation. user application displays data gathered sensors, shows graphical representation state each ditch, allows farmers manage their fields. Finally, different tests were performed plot vegetables evaluate correct performance coverage vegetated area with deployment options.
