Precision Drip Water Irrigation

Tandur is an IoT-based precision drip irrigation capstone project developed to combat agricultural water scarcity caused by prolonged droughts. The system utilizes ESP32 LoRaWAN nodes—capable of transmitting data up to 3 kilometers—to monitor real-time soil moisture and water flow. I engineered a Next.js web application with Firebase authentication that uses WebSockets to instantly stream this hardware telemetry. The system is fully automated: water pumps activate only when soil moisture drops below specific thresholds, ensuring highly efficient water usage. To further optimize watering needs, the frontend integrates temperature and radiation data from the SolCast and OpenWeather APIs, providing farmers with a centralized dashboard for data-driven, precision agriculture.
