Abstract: Water scarcity and inefficient irrigation practices are major challenges in modern agriculture. Conventional irrigation methods often lead to over-irrigation, water wastage, and reduced crop productivity. This paper presents an IoT-based smart irrigation system that monitors soil moisture, temperature, and humidity in real time and automatically controls water supply to crops. The system uses sensors, a microcontroller (Arduino/ESP32), and a cloud-based platform for remote monitoring. In addition to monitoring, the system can log historical data for predictive analysis and optimize irrigation schedules using threshold-based or machine-learning models. Experimental simulations suggest potential water savings of 30-50% compared to traditional irrigation methods. The system demonstrates the feasibility of combining IoT technology with precision agriculture to achieve sustainable farming practices while reducing labor and operational co
