Prajota D. Shrimanwar
Smart irrigation has become an essential solution for efficient water management in agriculture. Traditional irrigation methods often lead to water wastage and require continuous human supervision. This paper presents the design and implementation of a low-cost ESP8266-based smart irrigation system capable of monitoring soil moisture and automatically controlling water supply. The system provides real-time monitoring and automated irrigation, ensuring optimal water utilization. Experimental results demonstrate reliable performance, reduced water consumption, and improved irrigation efficiency. The proposed system is economical, easy to implement, and suitable for agricultural fields, gardens, and greenhouse applications.
