In India, agriculture is the backbone of the economy, and farmers face numerous challenges in ensuring optimal crop growth. One of the most critical challenges is the efficient management of water resources. Traditional methods of measuring soil moisture are often inaccurate, and time-consuming, leading to over-irrigation or under-irrigation. Over-irrigation results in water wastage and increased costs, while under-irrigation leads to poor crop yield and financial losses. Additionally, farmers in remote areas often lack access to reliable electricity, making it difficult to use advanced agricultural tools. To address these issues, our project focuses on designing a cost-effective and sustainable solution for measuring absolute water content in soil. Our system integrates a Soil Moisture Sensor, DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor, TEMT6000 Light Sensor, and a LoRa Module for wireless communication, all powered by a Solar Panel. This system provides real-time data on soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and light intensity, enabling farmers to make informed decisions about irrigation. Our aim is to empower farmers with an affordable, easy-to-use, and sustainable tool that enhances water efficiency, reduces costs, and improves crop productivity.
