Wireless Sensor Network based Water Well Management System for precision agriculture

Abstract

Due to climate change, traditional fertilization and watering system become very hard to get success of growing plants in certain areas. On the other hand, humanity depends on water and Agriculture for survival. As a result optimal, profitable and sustainable use of water is critical. Several researchers continue their research on precision agriculture for easy implementation, continuous monitoring and control of water for the community. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a very reliable and successful technology in precision agriculture. This research proposes a WSN based approach using some convenient instrument that able to monitor and control water level in well using remote devices from distance location. This paper gives an overall description of a WSN based model and implementation that includes introduction and relevant argument indicating the importance and validity of this research, methodology and implementation using Texas Instrument ZNP2530 kit, results and future recommendations.
