Precision agriculture is now essential in today’s world, especially for countries with limited water resources, fertile land, and enormous population. Smart irrigation systems can help countries efficiently utilize fresh water and use the excess water for barren lands. Smart water management platform (SWAMP) is an IoT-based smart irrigation project designed for efficient freshwater utilization in agriculture. The primary aim of SWAMP is to auto manage water reserves, distribution, and consumption of various levels, avoid over-irrigation and under-irrigation problems, and auto manage time to maximize production. This research proposed an energy-efficient water management platform (EEWMP), an improved version of SWAMP. EEWMP is an IoT-based smart irrigation system that uses field-deployed sensors, sinks, fusion centres, and open-source clouds. Both models’ performance is evaluated in energy consumption, network stability period, packet sent to destination, and packet delivery ratio. The experimental results show that EEWMP consumes 30% less energy and increases network stability twice than SWAMP. EEWMP can be used in different irrigation models such as drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, surface irrigation, and lateral move irrigation with subtle alterations. Moreover, it can also be used in small farms of third-world countries with their existing communication infrastructures such as 2G or 3G.

EEWMP：基于IoT的智能灌溉节能水管理平台

精确农业现在在当今世界至关重要，尤其是对于水资源有限，土地肥沃且人口众多的国家。智能灌溉系统可以帮助各国有效利用淡水并将多余的水用于贫瘠的土地。智能水管理平台（SWAMP）是基于IoT的智能灌溉项目，旨在有效利用农业中的淡水。SWAMP的主​​要目标是自动管理各个级别的水储量，分配和消耗，避免过度灌溉和灌溉不足的问题，并自动管理时间以最大化产量。这项研究提出了一种节能的水管理平台（EEWMP），它是SWAMP的改进版本。EEWMP是基于物联网的智能灌溉系统，它使用现场部署的传感器，水槽，融合中心和开源云。两种模型的性能都通过能耗，网络稳定期，发送到目的地的数据包以及数据包的传输率进行评估。实验结果表明，EEWMP的能耗比SWAMP少30％，并且网络稳定性提高了两倍。EEWMP可以用于不同的灌溉模式，例如滴灌，喷灌，地表灌溉和带有细微改动的横向移动灌溉。此外，它还可以与现有的2G或3G通信基础设施一起在第三世界国家的小型农场中使用。EEWMP可以用于不同的灌溉模式，例如滴灌，喷灌，地表灌溉和带有细微改动的横向移动灌溉。此外，它还可以与现有的2G或3G通信基础设施一起在第三世界国家的小型农场中使用。EEWMP可以用于不同的灌溉模式，例如滴灌，喷灌，地表灌溉和带有细微改动的横向移动灌溉。此外，它还可以与现有的2G或3G通信基础设施一起在第三世界国家的小型农场中使用。
