Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to lpwan-enabled automated flood irrigation system for water management.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The LPWAN-Enabled Automated Flood Irrigation System is a cutting-edge method for improving agricultural water management. This innovative device makes it easier to monitor and control irrigation practices in agricultural settings by using wireless connection and advanced sensor technologies. Its application offers a long-term, financially viable solution to the problems of water scarcity and inefficiency that are common in farming methods.
The essential need for efficient water management in agriculture is addressed by the LPWAN-Enabled Automated Flood Irrigation System. Traditional irrigation methods often have inefficiencies that lead to water waste, increased operating costs, and environmental damage. Irrigation system manual supervision and control also require a lot of labor and are prone to human error. With growing concerns about water shortages and the need for sustainable farming practices, there is an urgent need for creative solutions that can improve water use while reducing reliance on labor-intensive processes.
US5993111A: The system includes a plurality of flood plains. Each flood plain contains a plurality of plants and each plant is held in a pot. The flood plains are excavated at different elevations from an upper most elevation to a lower most elevation. The flood plains are sequentially flooded for a resident time period with a selected volume of water directed from a water source. As the flood plains are excavated to different elevations, gravity, and a series of flood gates, control the water flow from one flood plain to a next lower flood plain. Each flood plain has a top surface and an underlying bed comprising a soil and clay composition. The surface of each bed is contoured to adequately drain water from one flood plain to the next. This clay mixture firms the bed to adequately support vehicles and laborers to prevent depressions in the bed which may adversely affect water flow in and out of a flood plain. Each of the flood plains is lined with a water impermeable membrane. The flood plains are also contoured to effectively drain water from one flood plain to the next. A water reclamation system is connected to the irrigation system. Water drained from the flood plains it is collected in a retention pond and pumped to a holding pond. The water in the holding pond or reservoir is used to flood the irrigation field.
RESEARCH GAP: A smart innovation with LPWAN based Hand held device with Cloud integration for Automated Flood Irrigation System is the novelty of the system.
US20190235456A1: A method for flood irrigation includes releasing water from a riser valve for flooding a portion of a field through a control of a corresponding riser device of a plurality of riser devices, wherein the corresponding riser device is deployed at a location proximate to the riser valve, receiving a wireless signal from a corresponding sensor device of a plurality of sensor devices for a detection of a flood condition, wherein the corresponding sensor device is deployed at a location proximate to where the water from the riser valve is expected to flood; and stopping the release of the water from the riser valve.
RESEARCH GAP: A smart innovation with LPWAN based Hand held device with Cloud integration for Automated Flood Irrigation System is the novelty of the system.

This innovative development represents a huge step forward for sustainable farming methods all throughout the world. The Automated Flood Irrigation System offers a comprehensive strategy to address water scarcity and inefficiency in agricultural irrigation, opening the door for more productive, environmentally responsible, and financially viable farming methods. It does this by integrating IoT, LPWAN, and state-of-the-art sensor technologies. The AFIT_WMNode and AFIR_WMNode devices, each equipped with specialized parts to carry out their assigned functions, are at the center of this innovation. The main sensor node that is positioned strategically throughout the field to collect vital information on soil moisture content, water level, and flow rates is the AFIT_WMNode. These nodes connect wirelessly using LoRa technology to create a strong, wide network that can span large agricultural areas. The AFIT_WMNode nodes communicate data to the AFIR_WMNode, the central hub, upon detecting changes in soil or water conditions.
With sophisticated communication modules like WiFi and GSM installed, this central node serves as a control center and allows users to access the system from a distance. Users can watch real-time data and make educated decisions regarding irrigation management through the use of a dedicated mobile application or direct interaction with the touch display of the AFIR_WMNode. The system provides flexibility and customization by enabling manual control or interaction with pre-existing irrigation installations, thereby meeting the individual needs of users. Water management procedures are streamlined by the creative integration of LPWAN technology, which maximizes distribution while preserving valuable resources. The technology reduces waste and guarantees effective use of water resources by accurately controlling water discharge via riser valves based on real-time sensor data. Moreover, the labor intensity and operating costs linked to manual irrigation techniques are decreased by the automation provided by the LPWAN-enabled system, making it a sustainable and financially feasible approach to agricultural water management.
