Abstract

Precision Irrigation Control is one of the areas where Wireless sensor networks can be effectively utilized. By using appropriate strategies using WSN with soil moisture meter as one of the sensors, high irrigation delivery efficiency can be achieved. The precision data automation can be done for dynamic regulation of water delivery channels. This paper presents design layout and implementation methodology using WSN for working out irrigation demand in a precise manner. The paper covers various aspects like naming conventions, mote sensor assembly, cluster based layout and installation of sensors at subtask level in detail. Appropriate strategies of Localization, data routing and data aggregation techniques, computation of operational parameters are presented for working out the water demand to regulate inter-chak water delivery channels. The paper also lists some limitations to implement the scheme.
