With water being one of the many important natural resources. Seldom, for regular use water is wasted on a large quantity. Causing water shortage. Making, it imperative to handle water responsibly. Since, water is wasted because surplus flow of water into storage units. Monitoring Level of water becomes crucial. Water being stored into storage tanks of factories; it becomes important to monitor the level of water that flows inside the storage unit and the amount of water that moves out. As water decides the overall heath of the bio-diversity around us. With this system proposal we want to focus on water level and quality monitoring.

The main work uses an ARDUINO microcontroller that is programmed to obtain the input signal of varying moisture condition of the soil through the sensing association. Soil sensor is done by way of usage of an op-amp as a comparator which acts as an interface among the sensing arrangement and the microcontroller. Once the controller receives this sign, it generates an output that drives a relay for running the water pump. An LCD show is also interfaced to the microcontroller to show repute of the soil, temperature, PH, WIFI and water pump. Water shortage has been massive trouble for agriculture. This proposed concept is beneficial to the farmers to irrigate the farms successfully the usage of an electronic irrigation gadget based totally on soil temperature, moisture and pH. Respective sensors are used to locate the soil water content material stage and based on this, and microcontroller drives the servo motor and pump. Irrigation fame is up to date to the database the use of PC. This method works utilizing putting in sensors within the subject to monitor the soil temperature, moisture and kind of soil, which transmits the data to the microcontroller for estimation of the correct amount of water as according to the requirements. The accumulated data is updated sometimes to the server and may be accessed through an Android app. The next watering of plant life may be managed the usage of the aforementioned app. Depending upon the form of soil and crop, the fertilizers are recommended by means of applying Naïve Bayes set of rules at the database. The estimated quantity of rain is predicted using weather forecasting using Web scraper, and the plants are watered for this reason, i.e., is a heavy rainfall is predicted then the device will routinely reduce the water supplied to the plants.

The Internet of Things (IoT) technology can assist in the effective conservation of resources and energy management. With IoT, managing water level and detecting leakage within water pipeline distribution system can be automated. This is the golden opportunity as the field of water management and distribution progress with the advancement of IoT. Water shortage has been part of the crucial complications that encountered by many municipalities around the globe and surplus during transmission has been acknowledged as the main problem. Thus, the key idea for this project is to design a real-time low cost wireless system called as SMART2L to prevent Non-Revenue Water (NRW) commonly known as unbilled water wastage. SMART2L integrates with Internet of Things (IoT) that will make a change to the way of people live and manage their water resources smartly.

The food situation worldwide is becoming critical. At present, more than 2 billion humans are malnourished and experience unhealthy living conditions (FAO, 1992a,b; Neisheim, 1993; McMichael, 1993; Maberly, 1994; Bouis, 1995). The number of humans who also are diseased is the largest number ever, and about 40,000 children die each day from disease and malnutrition (Kutzner, 1991; Tribe, 1994).  The many problems that are now evident emphasize the urgent need to reassess the status of environmental resources. Based on the evidence, definitive plans must be developed to improve environmental management now and for the future. Of major importance is the limiting and slow reduction of human numbers to better balance the carrying capacity of the earth's natural resources.

With advancement in technology and ever-changing weather conditions, accurate and affordable water level measurement systems has become necessary for farmers. This therefore brings about the need for a system incorporating the use of IoT technology that will monitor water levels at a cost-effective price with accurate and dependable results. The prototype will monitor water levels on a regular basis and the data captured will be stored in a database to help farmers improve the way they manage their water resource. Farmers will be able to monitor the water levels from any location at any given time. This chapter focuses on a Smart Water Level Monitoring System for Farmers and provides a smart way to manage water resources on farms in the most cost-effective and convenient manner for farmers.

In recent years, cities have shown increasing signs of environmental problems due to the negative impacts of urban activities. The degradation and depletion of natural resources, climate change, and development pressure on green areas have become major concerns for cities. In response to these problems, urban planning policies have shifted to a sustainable focus and authorities have begun to develop new strategies for improving the quality of urban ecosystems. An extremely important function of an urban ecosystem is to provide healthy and sustainable environments for both natural systems and communities. Therefore, ecological planning is a functional requirement in the establishment of sustainable built environment. With ecological planning, human needs are supplied while natural resources are used in the most effective and sustainable manner and ecological balance is sustained. Protecting human and environmental health, having healthy ecosystems, reducing environmental pollution and providing green spaces are just a few of the many benefits of ecological planning. In this context, this chapter briefly presents a short overview of the importance of the implementation of ecological planning into sustainable urban development. Furthermore, it presents a conceptual framework for a new methodology for developing sustainable urban ecosystems through ecological planning approach.

Soil is a thin (up to 50cm) loose top layer of the Earth's surface, located between the lithosphere and atmosphere. Total available land area on Earth is limited, and the soil is extremely important, and in one generation it is a non-renewable natural resource. Unfortunately, nowadays the soil is, next to water, one of the most endangered natural resources. Among the many processes of soil damage, which is not being addressed at this point, is the growing importance placed on soil contamination. Contaminated soil is the soil in which human or natural activity has increased the content of harmful substances whose concentrations may be harmful to human activity, that is, for the production of plants or animals.

This paper proposals are: first, to show how the utilization of common resources can carry important ethical problems; second (and mainly), to stress that the many attempts to solve tragedies in fisheries, by creating interesting projects in aquaculture, are confronted with many obstacles and barriers in the approval process. These obstructions conduct to inefficiencies and carry out also important ethical problems. The Portuguese aquaculture case is used to develop an empirical study on the emergence of an “anticommons tragedy”. The control regime of Common Fisheries Policy is discussed.

According to the World Tourism Organization, sustainable tourism fosters the conservation of natural resources, respects the socio-cultural authenticity of host communities and ensures the maintenance of economic activities in the long term. With reference to these three areas, this article examines how vineyard landscapes, seen as one of the many resources of wine tourism, represent a potential for promoting forms of sustainable tourism, which be understood as tourism that assumes a balance between the environmental, economic and social determining factors behind a region. For this purpose, different theoretical and thematic approaches are used to highlight the importance of key issues, such as the status of the vineyard landscape as part of the conservation of natural resources in general and the elements linked to tangible and intangible heritage as part of the social authenticity of these landscapes. The results show how the strong cultural nature of vineyard landscapes, which are rich in heritage and aesthetics, guarantees their sustainability for tourist activity, provided that appropriate planning criteria are used.
