Abstrakt: The vast majority of individuals in India rely on agriculture as their main source of income. Precision agricultural advancements, thus, become more significant as a result of their economic impact. The paper offers a novel smart roof-based irrigation system as an advancement in the field of precision agriculture. This system can be deployed over any agricultural land holding. The area of agricultural land and crops will be protected by the smart roof, which is equipped with a rain sensor, in the event of unexpected or heavy rain. The slanted roof would direct rainfall into a tank adjacent to the rain cover. A moisture sensor would monitor the crops and the soil around them, and stored rainfall would be sent to the plants as needed. The proposed arrangement would not only benefit the cultivators by preventing the agricultural produce from going to waste but would also reduce groundwater consumption through rainwater harvesting. With water supply automation, crops would receive the precise amounts of water they require, considering various aspects including breed, season, and moisture retentivity. Through the introduction of such an innovation, an improvement in crop quality, as well as crop yield, is anticipated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
