Abstract: Irrigation systems are crucial for water management in paddy fields, but manual operation of canal gates often results in localized water shortages or excesses. Previous studies have developed remote monitoring and control systems using Wi-Fi and Internet protocols, but these approaches face difficulties when applied to large-scale irrigation areas. This paper presents a LoRaWAN-based remote monitoring and control system for canal gates of paddy field irrigation systems. The proposed system employs the LoRa technique to create a network of sensor nodes that covers a wide geographical area, making it well-suited for large irrigation systems. Unlike previous studies, which often implemented small-scale models, this system was deployed in a real-world setting in An Trach village, Da Nang. Experimental results showed that the proposed system can transmit data over distances up to 2 km and consumes less energy compared to the MQTT-4G-based solutions, making it ideal for large-scale irrigation systems.
