IOT Sensors

Water Scarcity 

•  Agriculture uses approximately 70% of the total water used. 

• (OECD Data) Over the next 30 years, the population is estimated to double. 

•  So the water demands will increase by 15%.

• This means we may face a worldwide water scarcity if we do not take proper steps today.

•  There is a pressing need for efficient water usage. 

•  A lot of work is happening to make water usage efficient. 

•  To achieve this, 4.0 technologies are giving us high hopes and good results.

• Advances in sensors are helping us collect adequate data. 

•  For example, by using IoT sensors on the farm, we can gather critical data like soil moisture, temperature, etc. 

•  Based on this data, water can be supplied to crop at correct times and improve yield. 

•  We also have abundant historical data of parameters such as rainfall patterns, satellite images, yield records, etc. 

•  Using this data, AI can predict and make intelligent decisions for an efficient water supply.
