Abstract

The present embodiment provides a method ( 100 ) and a system ( 200 ) of notifying a user for regulating a flow of water. The method ( 100 ) involves the following steps: sensing a moisture level and a water level of a soil: comparing the moisture level and the water level with a standard value and determining the amount of water required by a grown crop: texting the user of the amount of water and monitoring the action taken by the user: sensing the moisture level and the water level of the soil and calling the user when the flow of water is not regulated: escalating and notifying a field manager when the call is not answered and taking a feedback from the user for the problem.

Claims (21)

1. A real-time method ( 100 ) of notifying a user for regulating a flow of water, the method ( 100 ) comprising:

sensing a moisture level and a water level of a soil;

comparing the moisture level and the water level with a standard value and determining the amount of water required by a grown crop;

texting the user of the amount of water required by the grown crop and monitoring the action taken by the user;

sensing the moisture level and the water level of the soil and calling the user when the flow of water is not regulated; and

escalating and notifying a field manager when the call is not answered and taking a feedback from the user for the problem.

2. The real-time method ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 1 further comprises regulating the flow of water by the user depending on the moisture level and the water level.

3. The real-time method ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the user is a farmer.

4. The real-time method ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the moisture level is measured below the ground level.

5. The real-time method ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the water level is measured above the ground level.

6. The real-time method ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the standard value is the optimum amount of water required by the grown crop.

7. The real-time method ( 100 ) as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the call is made three times to the user.

8. An IoT enabled system ( 200 ) of notifying a user for regulating a flow of water, the system ( 200 ) comprises:

a sensing unit ( 202 ) configured to determine a moisture level and a water level of a soil, wherein the sensing unit ( 202 ) is installed in a farm;

a processing unit ( 204 ) configured to compare the moisture level and the water level with a standard value, wherein the processing unit ( 204 ) processes/determines an amount of water required by a grown crop;

a notifying unit ( 206 ) configured to notify the user of the water required by the grown crop, wherein the notifying unit ( 206 ):

sends a text message to the user and monitors an action of the user;

sends a call to the user when the flow of water is not regulated, wherein the notifying unit ( 206 ) sends the call three times to the user; and

escalates and notifies a field manager when the call is not answered and takes a feedback from the user for the problem.

9. The IoT enabled system ( 200 ) as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the sensing unit ( 202 ) is connected to the processing unit ( 204 ) through a network connection.

10. The IoT enabled system ( 200 ) as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the standard value is pre-fed in the system.
