The document discusses a proposed smart irrigation system called Krishi Pacemaker for paddy fields in India. It notes that Indian farmers use 70% of the country's groundwater for irrigation each year. The system would use sensors to monitor fields' water levels, moisture, temperature and humidity and automatically control water pumps to irrigate based on the sensor data, conserving water and reducing power bills. It is an IoT-driven system with GSM connectivity that requires no power at the farm and has sensor batteries lasting 5-6 years.

ceo@ksgco.org CHALLENGE According to data from the World Bank, Indian farmers use nearly 70 percent of the total groundwater drawn in the country each year. The water extracted from India’s wells constitutes more than one-quarter of the world’s total. SOLUTION It is therefore a necessity that a proposed water management solution for boosting crop yield also have to enable rice farmers to use water as efficiently as possible, with any reduction in usage allowing more water to be made available elsewhere. At the same time a system is needed to improve on the information delivery on supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system which will control the water and electricity efficiently. Key performance criteria would therefore focus around measurable improvements to the accuracy of actual and predicted water levels, speed of response times, system operational costs, water conservation and, of course, crop yields along with savings on POWER BILLS. KRISHI PACEMAKER Paddy fields need to irrigate, once with nature's water and the rest of the times with for 1-2 times through water pump. This project name Krishi Pacemaker for paddy field is a smart IOT system that can monitor the condition of a paddy field and automatically controls the water level of the field. The system has several sensors to measure the water level, moisture, temperature and humidity of the field. SYSTEM By the value of the collected data it will turn on or off control for water pump. When the field need water then the motor will turn on automatically. If the field is not in need of water then the pump will be turned off. The automation will be done on the basis of the ambient temperature, humidity, water level and moisture level, which data were collected via the sensors. The entire system is IOT driven with GSM connectivity. All the sensors are battery power driven. No power is needed at the farm side for sensing systems. The battery for the system will last 5-6 years based on the usage.
