The construction of winter wheat smart water saving irrigation system based on big data and internet of things

Big data analytics, cloud computing & internet of things are a smart triad which have started shaping our future towards smart home, city, business, country. Internet of things is a convergence of intelligent networks, electronic devices, and cloud computing. The source of big data at different connected electronic devices is stored on cloud server for analytics. Cloud provides the readymade infrastructure, remote processing power to consumers of internet of things. Cloud computing also gives device manufacturers and service providers access to ―advanced analytics and monitoring‖, ―communication between services and devices‖, ―user privacy and security‖. This paper, presents an overview of internet of things, role of cloud computing & big data analytics towards IoT. In this paper IoT enabled automatic irrigation system is proposed that saves data over ―ThingSpeak‖ database an IoT analytics platform through ESP8266 wifi module. This paper also summarizes the application areas and discusses the challenges of IoT.

Cultivation Experiment

The demand for freshwater and food is on the increase due to the rapid growth in the world’s population, while the effect of global warming and climate change poses a severe threat on water use and food security. Conventional irrigation system suffers due to an inefficient management of water and energy, while insufficient supply of water to plant increases their stress which often affects its growth and development. Hence, there is a need to increase research focus on water use efficiency in irrigation agriculture. This paper is aimed at investigating the performance of smart drip and subsurface fibrous capillary irrigation experiment for the cultivation of cantaloupe plant to increase the yield and quality of fruit while decreasing the water and energy usage. To achieve enhancement of subsurface fibrous capillary and drip irrigation system, an Internet of Things (IoT) approach was used to improve monitoring of soil, weather, plant and control of water application. The performance comparisons of both methods was evaluated in terms of water-saving in greenhouse cultivation experiment. The results obtained, shows that the smart fibrous capillary irrigation has water use efficiency of 19 g/Litre with average fruit sweetness of13.5 Brix. While, drip irrigation has 4.85 g/Litre and average sweetness of 10 Brix on the harvested fruit after 90 days of cantaloupe plant cultivation experiment. These have shown that precision irrigation through enhanced smart fibrous capillary irrigation can be used to achieve high water-saving and a good quality yield. It is expected that the research output will help to improve water-saving agriculture towards achieving food security.Keywords: Water Saving; Capillary Irrigation; Drip Irrigation; Internet of Things; Water Use Efficiency
