Nowadays IOT is implemented in almost every field. IOT in agricultural field plays a major role. It is very easy to monitor and manage the water flow. The moisture level in the soil is measured using moisture level sensor. When the soil is dry and reaches the threshold point, the Cloud Service Brokerage triggers the relay to start the motor. Once the motor starts to pump, it pumps the water from a storage tank and the water flows to the field. pH sensor senses the pH level of the water. The sensor will check pH level of the water whether it is alkaline or acidic. DHT sensor is used to measure the humidity of the environment. Our main objective of this system is to maintain and manage the optimized moisture content in the soil, pH of the water and to have a knowledge about the humidity content in the environment.
