The parameters involved in
the water reservation control such as the water level and
motor movement of the gate controlling the flow of water
will be measured in the real time by the sensors that send
the data to the base station or control/monitoring room.
This paper proposes how such monitoring system can be
setup emphasizing on the aspects of low cost, easy ad hoc
installation and easy handling and maintenance. The use of
wireless system for monitoring purpose will not only reduce
the overall monitoring system cost in term of labor cost, but
will also provide a flexibility in term of distance or location.
In this paper, the fundamental design and implementation
of WSN featuring a Zigbee Technology together with the
IEEE 802.15.4 compatible transceiver and the simple water
flow control circuit is proposed. The developed platform is
cost-effective and allows easy customization.
