India is a land of farmers Agriculture plays major role in the economical development and growth of our country, it contributes nearly 17-18 % of total GDP according to 2017-18 economic survey .It acts as the main source of employment for 60% of the population. Nearly 70% of rural households and farmers depends upon the agriculture .Indian farming relies on either rain fed farming or irrigation system for the water usages in agriculture , very less states and places of our country falls under rain –fed farming where as maximum farming is dependent on Irrigation system but the availability of water resources in our country for agriculture is very less hence there is a need of water conservation for better yield and maximise the cost of production . Most of the framers are using old irrigation systems like Drip irrigation, micro-irrigation, sprinklers, pivot etc to reduce the utilisation of water .They still follow the traditional methods of watering the crops thereby watering the crops unevenly, sometimes they may water the crops less or more or sometimes unnecessarily this may lead to wastage of water and soil moisture level may decrease. In the proposed smart agricultural system the researcher focuses to overcome the problems in this traditional irrigation systems used for agriculture by implementing the IoT and cloud is .In this system various vegetable crops and soil samples with different moisture level are considered and sensors are placed in the fields that provides soil moisture levels as input to the aurduino uno and this uploads the soil moisture levels frequently to the cloud through internet and WIFI module and depending upon these soil moisture levels the motor switches to ON/OFF state there by watering the crops only when the soil becomes dry at certain level according to threshold values programmed in the Microcontroller. This system works with very less human involvements .The farm statistical report can be viewed by the farmer anytime on the App , thereby making optimal utilization of water for better crop yield
