SMART CITY
A smart city is an urban area that uses different types of electronic data collection sensors to supply
information which is used to manage assets and resources efficiently. This includes data collected from
citizens, devices, and assets that is processed and analyzed to monitor and manage traffic and
transportation systems, power plants, water supply networks, waste management, law enforcement,
information systems, schools, libraries, hospitals, and other community services. The smart city
concept integrates information and communication technology (ICT), and various physical devices
connected to the network (the Internet of things or IoT) to optimize the efficiency of city operations
and services and connect to citizens.

IRRIGATION IN SMART CITIES

Agriculture Internet of Things helps in increasing crop productivity by way of managing and
controlling the activities like –

Crop water management – Adequate water supply is an essence for agriculture and the crops
can be damaged in either of situation of excess of water supply or in shortage of water supply.

Web Map Service (WMS) and Sensor Observation Service (SOS) provides a solution to
manage water requirement or water supply for crop irrigation. Agriculture Internet of Things
smartly analyses the water requirement of crop and utilizes the scarce water resource available
to reduce wastage of water.

In areas of drought Crop water management function of Agriculture IoT can prove to be of
great value as it manages the limited water supply smartly with least wastage of water resource
by calculating the valve operation timing and building optimum irrigation strategy.

Applications of IoT in Agriculture

Precision Agriculture – The level of accuracy of weather forecasts affects the crop
productivity to a great extent. Higher the level of accuracy of weather forecast, the lower would
be the chances of crops being damaged thus there would be higher level of productivity.

Agriculture Internet of Things ensures accurate and timely communication of real time data
or information related to dynamic agricultural processes like plantation, harvesting etc. and
weather forecasts, soil quality, availability and cost of labor required to the farmers before-hand.
Farmer’s with availability of such important real time information in advance are able to plan
their course of activities pre-hand and take corrective/preventive measures for future
contingency.

Agricultural drones

Technology has changed over time and agricultural drones are a very good example of this.
Today, agriculture is one of the major industries to incorporate drones. Drones are being used in
agriculture in order to enhance various agricultural practices. The ways ground-based and aerial
based drones are being used in agriculture are crop health assessment, irrigation, crop
monitoring, crop spraying, planting, and soil and field analysis.

The major benefits of using drones include crop health imaging, integrated GIS mapping, ease
of use, saves time, and the potential to increase yields. With strategy and planning based on
real-time data collection and processing, the drone technology will give a high-tech makeover to
the agriculture industry.

Integrated Pest Management or Control (IPM/C) – Often the farmer’s hard work are
destroyed by pests and they suffer huge monetary losses. To prevent such situation Agriculture
Internet of Things has a system that monitor and scans the environmental parameters & plant
growth, further this data is utilized by pest control sensors which is capable of predicting pest
behavior. This information can be used by farmers to reduce damage done by pests on a large
scale.

Thus Pest Management & Control works on the fundamental basis which are as follows –

 Observation
 Inspection
 Identification
 Record Tracking

Food Production and Safety – Agriculture Internet of Things aims not only at attaining
optimum food productivity along with quality matching the standards but also aims at Food
security at different levels like storage, transportation etc.,. To ensure food safety Agriculture
Internet of Things has a system that monitors the various factors like shipping time, storage
temperature and cloud based record keeping etc.
