One of the most significant issues affecting the majority of countries in the world today is resource conservation. Water is the most vital component for all life, hence protecting it is crucial. Optimal use of water maintains its sustainability and leads to energy savings. Educational institutions are considered among the largest institutions that use water because of the presence of large numbers of students and employees. This research concerned resource management in educational institutions taking into account environmental conditions based on Internet of Things (IoT). The results illustrated that the designed monitoring system for moisture content has the ability to enhance water sustainability by using the optimal water content. A significant efficiency of the proposed monitoring system in controlling the water level was achieved. The maximum error between the monitoring system reading and the actual reading was 2% and 2.44% for moisture content and water level, respectively. The results showed the sensor's high sensitivity to rainfall and the ability of the proposed monitoring system to save water that exceeds the need of soil
