Abstract

In this paper we design and implemented a dynamic and smart wireless mesh sensor network for aquaculture and water quality management applications. This system utilizes the Waspmote embedded systems platform developed by Libelium, mesh networking transceivers from Digi International and smart sensors from UNISM to implement a novel smart Wireless Mesh Sensor network –Aquamesh with multiple gateways of different technologies (Zigbee, GPRS and WIFI). The system is designed to continuously monitor aqua-environmental parameters and then initiate an alert or early warning to system user when certain thresholds are exceeded. The data generated from this system is stored locally on the gateway or sent to a remote web server. Data on the local database or remote web server can be accessed with smart mobile phones or personal computers. The experimental results show that the system presented in this paper is feasible to implement and present results consistent with traditional aqua-quality monitoring systems. This system will find application in the monitoring of marine and wetlands environments like fish ponds, coastal water pollution monitoring systems, effluent and sewage treatment plants, offshore oil and gas drilling facilities.
