Wireless Sensor Network for Water Table Monitoring i n Agriculture

Abstract – Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy [1] . The development of agriculture in terms of area of land under cultivation, use of modern equipment and financial assistan ce to the farmers is absolutely essential [1] [ 2] . India is to progress economically with all sectors of the populat ion enjoying its agricultural effect [2] . Recent advances in sensing, computing and communication technologies coupled with the need to continuously monitor physical phenomena have led to the development of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) [2][ 3] . WSN consist of four main components: A radio, a processor, sensors and battery [7] . Sensors are the hopeful device for precision agriculture. By forming wireless sensor network we can make good monitoring system in the paddy crop field area [6]. This paper represents a maximum opportunity of delivery of water level information packets/signals to base station as it also computes a threshold as well as does calculates values based on transmission range [3] . This technology helps us in reducing packets loss [1][ 3] .
