IoT 기반 농업용 관정제어시스템에 관한 연구

Abstract

In the current global context, there is an urgent need to enhance water management systems to address abnormal temperatures and climate change. Particularly on Jeju Island, where a significant proportion of the population is engaged in agriculture, groundwater constitutes the highest recorded quantity nationwide, serving as a vital resource for numerous farms. However, due to insufficient water supply from limited wells, many agricultural enterprises frequently face challenges in irrigation, leading to a situation where efficient utilization and systematic management of agricultural groundwater facilities are lacking. To tackle these issues, research is actively underway to explore technologies that can efficiently supply and manage irrigation. Among these, IoT-based agricultural irrigation control systems utilize soil and groundwater sensors to monitor crop conditions, measure irrigation quantities, collect data, and enable efficient control of groundwater facilities through control modules. This system also offers the advantage of real-time monitoring, allowing farmers to promptly access measured information and operational data through a monitoring system. Furthermore, the introduction of agricultural irrigation control systems proves essential as it enables the rapid recovery of initial investment costs within a short period. Therefore, this paper aims to develop an agricultural irrigation control system based on Jeju Island's groundwater. The system seeks to efficiently manage groundwater, integrate smart farming practices, and enhance the productivity and quality of field vegetable cultivation through empirical data and economic analysis.
