Keywords : Internet of Things, Cloud, Sensors, agriculture Abstract :The Intelligent Farm Irrigation System is aimed to benefit the millions of Indian farmers towards their farms timely watering requirement using scientific methods and the state of the art technologies with optimum usage of resources. The system consists of wireless ambient monitoring sensors like soil moisture, temperature etc. combined with low power wireless networks. The wireless sensor networks acquires the data on continuous basis (24x7 mode) from the sensors and analyse in conjunction with the Indian Metrological Department’s weather predictions and makes intelligent decisions based on the available data and executes the watering activities. The information about the execution of activities will be sent to the user through email/SMS using internet. The entire sensor’s data will be logged and stored in the cloud and this will be used as a base for fine tuning of the Intelligent Irrigation Systems for future to effectively meet the agricultural demands. Excess watering causes loss of minerals, and rotting up of the plants and wastage of resources. This system conserves the usage of man power, electricity and water resources optimally. The system allows the user to schedule the irrigation timings with a provision to override the timings from any computer with a web browser. No special software or clients are required, just a Web Browser on a computer or mobile phone.
