Resumen

Water management is a critical aspect of modern agriculture. Efficient use of water resources can lead to increased crop yields and reduced costs. This article presents the design and construction of a real-time remote water tank monitoring system for agricultural applications using a Raspberry Pi and the WhatsApp mobile application. The system aims to provide farmers with an efficient and cost-effective solution to monitor water levels and control water inflow and outflow in a tank using two solenoid valves, enabling them to make informed decisions regarding irrigation, water conservation, and resource management. Tests suggest that integrating Raspberry Pi with the WhatsApp application is feasible and offers an accessible and user-friendly means for remote monitoring.
