Information and Communications Technologies ( ICT) includes all technologies for the manipulation and communication of information. ICT encompasses any medium to record information (disc/tape, CD/DVD, flash memory etc.); technology for broadcasting information-radio, television; and technology for communicating through voice and sound or images- microphone, camera, loudspeaker, telephone to cellular phones. Weather data system is integrated field and crop condition to anticipate the amount of water required on a field over a particular period. Some of the key players who provide these smart irrigation systems are: Rain Bird Corporation The Toro Company Netaflim Hydropoint Data System Galcon Rachio Company Weathermatic Weather data system is integrated field and crop condition to anticipate the amount of water required in a field over a particular period. Some of the key players who provide these smart irrigation systems are: Rain Bird Corporation The Toro Company Netaflim Hydropoint Data System Galcon Rachio Company Weathermatic Water management has become very important for adequate water supply and irrigation in the field. ITC gearing up both of these specific sectors. Proper ITC helps to save water, electricity, fuel, labour cost, etc by 30-70%.

Weather data system is integrated field and crop condition to anticipate
the amount of water required on a field over a particular period.
Some of key players who provide these smart irrigation systems are:
Rain Bird Corporation
The Toro Company

5. PRECISION FARMING, GIS AND
REMOTE SENSING
Assessment water availability in reservoir for optimal management of
water to meet the irrigated demand
Amount of water to be given to the plants.
Identify areas needed for irrigation.
Critical time for irrigation.
Frequency of irrigation.
Available sources of irrigation.
Storage of water.

6. In order to achieve these
functions
Soil moisture sensor
Ambient humidity sensors
Temperature sensor
Flow meters, etc

7. NANO GANESH
It is electronic device manufactured by Ossian Agro Automation.
Nano Ganesh modem along with a low cost mobile phone has to be
connected to a existing starter or auto switch. A farmer has to simply
dial a number dedicated for Nano Ganesh for switching off or on the
water pump.

9. modern irrigation technology
Mechanized irrigation allows the use of different technologies to manage water
applications, having accurate system locations, and the ability to remotely
monitor and control irrigation systems.

10. GPS BASED IRRIGATION

12. CONCLUSION
Water management has become very important for adequate water
supply and irrigation in field. ITC gearing up both of these specific
sector. Proper ITC helps to save water, electricity, fuel, labour cost, etc
by 30-70%.
