Development of Wireless Sensor Network for Water Level Monitoring in Agricultural Land
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The Development of wireless sensor network technology allows us to develop a system for real time environmental monitoring. In the current scenario wireless sensor networks participates a lot in precision agriculture. The benefits of using wireless sensor network technology in agriculture are monitor and control of water, distributed data collection and monitoring, irrigation and nutrient supply, improvement in crop health etc. The technology reduce the cost of production and increases the efficiency of production and also improve crop quality. This project presents an automated irrigation system that monitors the water level in the agriculture land and controls the water level to optimize the water use for agricultural crops. In addition to it the system collects sensor information and based on the water status triggers actuators and finally transmits those data to farmer through GSM. The system also automatically activates and deactivates the pump motor. An algorithm was developed with threshold values of water level that was programmed into a microcontroller-based gateway to control water quantity. This project describes the development and deployment of wireless sensor network for water level monitoring in the agriculture land
