AbstractThe Weather Forecast Integrated IoT-Powered Automated Irrigation System transforms water management in agriculture by merging environmental monitoring in real time with weather forecasting information. The core of the system is an ESP8266 microcontroller, which communicates with DHT11 and soil humidity sensors to measure temperature, humidity, and soil moisture levels. All this information is sent to the ThingSpeak cloud platform for real- time processing to facilitate remote monitoring and decision- making. The system employs an L293D motor driver to control the water pump automatically, initiating irrigation according to pre-programmed moisture levels. Weather forecasts are also incorporated into the system to modify irrigation schedules according to forecasted rainfall, minimizing water wastage even further. Through the integration of sensor readings and weather forecasts, the system optimizes water use, avoiding over-irrigation and under-irrigation. This leads to effective use of resources, minimal water use, and higher yields. Ultimately, the system enhances sustainable agriculture since water management is more targeted and responsive to weather and environmental factors, while ensuring higher agricultural output at the cost of preserving crucial water resources.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    Agriculture is among the most water-hungry sectors, and effective water management is essential to maintaining sustainability and productivity. Conventional irrigation practices tend to be based on fixed timing or manual control, which can result in overuse of water or under-irrigation, both of which are detrimental to crop yields and resource conservation. With the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) and intelligent technologies, automated irrigation systems [1] have come to the forefront as a viable solution to these problems. Through the use of real-time sensor data and weather forecasts, these systems automatically optimize irrigation schedules so that crops are provided with the correct amount of water at the correct time.

    The IoT-based automated irrigation system combines various technologies to enhance efficiency and sustainability. At the center of the system is an ESP8266 microcontroller, a common device in IoT applications because it is cheap and already [2] has Wi-Fi connectivity. The microcontroller communicates with environmental sensors such as the DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor and soil moisture sensors to determine the water level in the soil. This information is constantly gathered and sent to the

    cloud-based ThingSpeak platform, where it can be accessed and analyzed remotely by farmers. Real-time monitoring of environmental conditions allows for more accurate decision- making and minimizes the use of manual labor.

    One of the main challenges in irrigation management is the uncertainty of weather conditions. Rainfall, temperature, and humidity changes can sharply affect the level of soil moisture, rendering fixed irrigation timetables inefficient. To overcome this problem, the system described in this [3] proposal utilizes weather forecast information so it may dynamically adjust irrigation timetables. By having access to online weather services, the system forecasts precipitation and changes irrigation plans based on this information. This avoids wastage of water during rainfall, saving water and lessening operational expenses. The capacity to shift according to fluctuating environmental factors renders the system more efficient and intelligent than the conventional way.

    Automation of irrigation is done via an L293D motor driver, which regulates the water pump according to sensor input and established moisture levels. Once the soil moisture level goes below the established threshold, the system automatically turns on the pump to irrigate the ground. On the other hand [4], when sufficient moisture is sensed or rain is forecasted, irrigation is stopped to avoid over-watering. This automated control system allows crops to receive the right amount of water, ensuring healthier plant growth while avoiding wastage. Farmers can also override the system manually if necessary, offering flexibility and responsiveness to changing agricultural requirements.

    In addition to water conservation, the use of an IoT-based irrigation system also helps with overall agricultural sustainability. Through optimal water use, the system helps alleviate pressure on local water supplies, which is particularly important for areas experiencing water shortages. Furthermore, smart irrigation reduces soil erosion and nutrient leaching [5], both of which are typical effects of overwatering. Healthier soil translates into healthier crops, which in turn benefits farmers through enhanced productivity and profitability. In addition, remote monitoring functionality enables farmers to control irrigation systems remotely, cutting labor expenses and enhancing operational efficiency.

    The combination of IoT and weather forecasting in irrigation is a major leap towards precision agriculture. Conventional farming practices are typically characterized by uncertainty and inefficiency because they are based on

    manual observation and rigid irrigation schedules. Through the use of technology [6], farmers have greater control over water distribution, allowing for optimal growing conditions while preserving a precious natural resource. This system is especially useful for small farmers who might not have access to advanced irrigation systems but can afford simple IoT solutions to improve their farming methods.

    With climate change and population pressures continuing to put a strain on global food production, embracing new agricultural technologies becomes more critical. The weather forecast-integrated IoT-driven automated irrigation system is a scalable and sustainable solution to the challenges [7] of contemporary farming. Through intelligent management of water resources, minimizing human intervention, and increasing crop yield, the system is a futuristic way of smart agriculture. The capacity to incorporate real-time data and predictive analytics guarantees that irrigation is informed by correct information, thus making farming more resilient and resource-efficient. This technology-based strategy not only helps individual farmers but also works towards overall initiatives in sustainable farming and conservation of the environment.

    This work is organized with review of the literature survey as Section II. Methodology described in Section III, highlighting its functionality. Section IV discusses the results and discussions. Lastly, Section V concludes with the main suggestions and findings.

  4. RESULT AND DISCUSSION

    The automated irrigation system based on IoT proved impressive in terms of water management effectiveness. Through combining real-time sensor readings with weather prediction data, the system succeeded in minimizing wastage of water while providing necessary watering to the crops. From the data captured, it became apparent that watering was initiated only when soil water levels fell below the set minimum, avoiding pointless watering. In addition, integration of weather forecasts enabled the system to postpone irrigation during anticipated rainfall, again optimizing water consumption. This meant that there was a significant reduction in total water usage compared to conventional irrigation practices, and the system was an effective solution for resource- efficient agriculture.

    Performance monitoring indicated that the automated irrigation system improved crop growth and health. Crops experienced uniform moisture levels, minimizing over- irrigation and under-irrigation risks. This uniformity was responsible for even plant growth and increased yields. The automated system provided better water management at all times compared to manual irrigation, which tended to result in changing soil moisture levels. Farmers witnessed better crop quality since the accurate control of water application avoided excess watering and related root rot as well as dehydration caused by inadequate irrigation. The system's effect was most pronounced in water- sensitive crops, where exact control of moisture is essential.

    ThingSpeak's cloud platform gave useful real-time visualization of data, enabling farmers to remotely observe environmental conditions. Data logs showed trends in temperature, humidity, and soil moisture levels, which facilitated improved decision-making for irrigation scheduling.
