It is used first for the planting process of some plants and also for the watering for other plants to ensure normal growth and acceptable production. In the past, irrigation was done by traditional methods, by creating waterways above the ground. However, using this type of method requires considerable effort and time to set up, it also requires a large amount of water. These irrigation methods are feasible in the case of small or medium crops, but they become unnecessary in the case of the use of large agricultural areas. With a sharp increase in the world population, it becomes necessary to increase productivity through large-scale cultivation, so the use of traditional methods of irrigation has become inefficient. Therefore, it is helpful to find or develop more efficient and effective watering methods and means. In this context, this research paper presents a study on the use of automatic and intelligent methods in the management of irrigation of agricultural land. Among these technologies, the artificial intelligence and Internet of Things (IoT), which are used to optimize the manage irrigation water in agricultural lands. The elements of the agricultural system and its environment are presented by things that are in direct contact by relying on information and communication technology (ICT). Communication between things goal is to exchange information and cooperate with each other to realizing the main goal, it is a well-managed watering operation of the farms. On the basis of this technology, it is possible to obtain more production with less effort and less financial investment. Finally, this work can be considered as a reference and a knowledge base for students, professor-researchers and farmers.
