abstract = {The role of agriculture in society is vital due to factors such as providing food for the
population, is a major source of employment worldwide, and one of the most important sources
of revenue for countries. Furthermore, in recent years, the interest in optimizing the use of water
resources has increased due to aspects such as climate change. This has led to the introduction of
technology in the fields by means of sensor networks that allow remote monitoring and control of
cultivated lands. In this paper, we present a system for flood irrigation in agriculture comprised of a
sensor network based on WiFi communication. Different sensors measure atmospheric parameters
such as temperature, humidity, and rain, soil parameters such as humidity, and water parameters such
as water temperature, salinity, and water height to decide on the need of activating the floodgates
for irrigation. The user application displays the data gathered by the sensors, shows a graphical
representation of the state of irrigation of each ditch, and allows farmers to manage the irrigation
of their fields. Finally, different tests were performed on a plot of vegetables to evaluate the correct
performance of the system and the coverage of the sensor network on a vegetated area with different
deployment options.},
