Smart AquaGrid is a LoRa-aided grid irrigation and control system designed to optimize water usage in precision farming. It reduces water waste by monitoring soil and environmental conditions. A mobile app provides real-time data and management insights for better crop management and future planning.
Traditional irrigation methods lead to:
- ❌ Uneven water distribution
- ❌ Lack of real-time monitoring
- ❌ Absence of soil condition tracking
✔️ Farmland is divided into multiple grids based on farmers' needs.
✔️ Each grid has sensors to monitor key environmental and soil conditions (moisture, nutrients, etc.)
✔️ Data is transmitted via LoRa technology to an online server, accessible via a mobile application
✔️ When sensors detect a need for irrigation, the system automatically activates water flow in specific grids.
✔️ Prevents over-irrigation and water wastage while ensuring efficient resource management.
