Abstract

In the present era, continuous monitoring of individual sprinkler points has become imperative, with personal inspections being a standard practice. Addressing the need to prevent water waste at specific locations within the sprinkler system, it is essential to find a solution that not only eliminates the necessity for constant human oversight but also proactively identifies and prevents potential hazards. This study proposes a novel approach employing Internet of Things (IoT) technology and various sensors, including proximity and soil temperature sensors, as well as on/off/adjustment sensors based on water flow and land wetness. The envisioned system integrates these technologies into sprinklers to achieve optimized water management. The anticipated outcomes encompass the prevention of water wastage at targeted locations, comprehensive water level management, dynamic activation and deactivation of sprinklers based on soil moisture content, reduction or elimination of human intervention, and real-time notifications to the management team regarding system changes.
