A Low Power Remote Monitoring Sensor Network For Flood Monitoring System
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Computer and Communication Technology - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Currently, many water companies have deployed telemetry systems to replace some of the manual operations involved in data collection. These systems require extensive cabling for Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) and power. As a result, telemetry systems cannot be deployed widely over a large catchment area because of the cost. If dispersed, infrequent faults are to be monitored then it is imperative to find alternative economical methods to perform the data collection and transmission. In this proposed Architecture An ARM Based LPC148 Microcontroller is interfaced with water level sensors to find the water level of floods in gully pots. The level information is transmitted to the central station where the data collection and control is taken care which is at a nearest distance from each area, using GSM/GPRS as a wireless communication media. and the respective controlling is taken by the relative department. There are a number of water level sensors available in the market. But, many of these sensors are expensive, unreliable, are large in size and consume too much power to be used in the hostile gully pot environment. In order to reliably and effectively measure the water level of a gully, a novel and low cost, low power acoustic sensor was designed and developed.
