Implementation of flash flood monitoring system based on wireless sensor network in Bangladesh

摘要

This research involved in the design & implementation of water monitoring system that provides a solution to remotely monitoring water levels, early warning of events, sending notifications when critical water levels are reached through mobile and accessing all information via a website. It enables people to obtain readings remotely instead of having to travel to each monitoring stations to collect data and gives protection of the safety of monitoring personnel under certain dangerous circumstances. The system consists of the field sensor, Arduino Ethernet-shield, data collection software module, web console module, Mobile based monitoring module and distributed servers. The field sensor acquires the real-time data as water-level information from river stations. The data is then stored to distributed web servers and represented to website so that everyone gets the status of water levels. The proposed monitoring system presents useful characteristics as large network capacity, sensor hardware compatibility, long-range communication, low power consumption, and capable of taking challenge to natural environment threats like weather conditions and various type of water mixed up with others materials.
