WSN Application for Sustainable Water Management in Irrigation Systems

This paper introduces a new way of maintaining a sustainable irrigation system, applied to gardens or agricultural fields, replacing human intervention with Wireless Sensor Networks, in order to achieve a better efficiency in the process that can lead to savings for the final user, not only monetary but also in natural resources, such as water and energy, leading to a more sustainable environment. The system can retrieve real time data and use them to determinate the correct amount of water to be used in the garden in order to keep it healthy. Besides the system architecture, this paper includes a real case scenario implementation and result discussions.
