Fast and Intelligent Irrigation System Based on WSN

Abstract

In the agricultural industry, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) can be an important tool to promote economic growth. Using network devices in agriculture has the potential to enhance the production process. One of the key challenges WSN faces is energy efficiency. A model based on the water pipeline method is proposed in order to efficiently utilize sensor nodes in agricultural production and water distribution. A water pipeline serves as an important structure for transporting potable water across a distance for consumption or irrigation. In contrast, the biggest transportation problems of water pipelines are leaks. So, water resources may be lost as a result. These pipes need real-time monitoring to prevent such problems. The wireless sensor network technique, however, is considered one of the best solutions available today for monitoring water pipelines. A detailed analysis of agriculture is provided by the model. Aspects of WSN are discussed and their agricultural use is expounded. Moreover, this paper describes the various types of applicability of existing sensor networks in the field of agriculture, along with some technical perspectives. To achieve the best power consumption and communication for the two types of range, ZigBee wireless protocols are utilized. As such, high-performance information that provides a platform for WSNs to better support agricultural production is also included in our proposed model in order to address the shortcomings of existing WSNs regarding energy efficiency. This paper presents the improvements of the proposed solution compared to other techniques in the context of energy conservation in wireless sensor networks and in the monitoring water-saving process.

Smart Irrigation Systems: Overview

“…As a result, crop production will increase while water, fertilizer, and pesticides will be used less in the field crop [68]. WSN are an exciting and important technology that has made remarkable progress in recent years and can be used in various fields; agriculture is one of the fields where WSN are broadly used and successfully deployed [69]- [71]. The utilization of WSN technology to manage and control irrigation methods is a perfect scenario for ensuring rational and effective water use, which contributes to the gravity of the global crisis of water [5].…”
