Future work
The varied requisites of crops in terms of calcium, magnesium, sodium, etc. can be identified and fulfilled. A notification can be sent to the farmers regarding the information about the water contents.
Reliable hardware
Error detection systems are appropriated to identify and prevent the discrepancy and discontinuity in usage. For error-free working, reliable hardware manufacturing is required.
Water immersed crops
Adhering to the large water requirement by the crops like rice, the requisite of continued immersion in water still remains a challenge. Sensors capable of remaining immersed in water can be incorporated. Water depth–based technology can also be considered as a solution.
Water irrigation based on the crops
Pertaining to different requisites of water by every crop, customized data-based methodology of water irrigation is employed.
Notification to the farmer
IFTTT application is employed by the component to send the text notification in the form of SMS to the registered mobile number of the farmer. The notifications, in the form of alerts, update the farmer on the water level and turbidity level of water in the tank.
