A Pervasive system for optimizing water utilization in Agriculture using wireless Sensor Networks

摘要

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) are playing vital role in precision agriculture. In the current era, many sensor variants are being used in the agriculture sector for different process, production and precision monitoring system. Apart from this, Wireless sensor Networks are used for decision support systems in agriculture for various processes. This paper provides an insight of an automated drip irrigation decision support system for optimum utilization of available water to be distributed over a specified cultivation land with multiple crops. This system works with a network of wireless Sensor for data acquisition. All sensor nodes collect data from various geospatial locations and send it to sink node to provide decision support for water distribution. The main focus is to reduce the cost of a working system using less number of the Sensor node in comparison with other methods studied for a survey. Many novel methods are used for automated drip Irrigation. The presented system narrows the focus on soil moisture data collection between two sensor nodes using piece wise Interpolation. A multi hop transmission is used in data transmission from a source node to sink node.
