Conventional irrigation systems often result in water wastage and high manual intervention. This study proposes a Cloud- and IoT-driven smart irrigation framework that integrates Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), an NI CompactRIO controller, renewable energy, and real-time weather forecasting services. The system collects and analyzes heterogeneous data streams (soil moisture, humidity, temperature, and water levels) to dynamically control irrigation schedules. Experimental validation on a prototype farm in Morocco demonstrates that the proposed system reduces weekly water consumption by 26, lowers irrigation events from 10 to 6, eliminates manual interventions, and achieves 13.6 energy savings compared with traditional methods. The integration of predictive weather data prevents over-irrigation during rainfall, while cloud-based analytics enhance scalability and monitoring. These results highlight the system's potential for resource-efficient, autonomous, and sustainable agriculture, particularly in water-scarce regions. Future work will focus on extending the system with LoRa-based sensor networks and machine learning-based solar energy forecasting to further improve adaptability and scalability. 2026, International Association of Engineers.
