COMMON-Sense Net: Improved Water Management for Resource-Poor Farmers via Sensor Networks

Abstract: Abstract-We describe the on-going design and implementation of a sensor network for agricultural management targeted at resource-poor farmers in India. Our focus on semi-arid regions led us to concentrate on water-related issues. Throughout 2004, we carried out a survey on the information needs of the population living in a cluster of villages in our study area. The results highlighted the potential that environment-related information has for the improvement of farming strategies in the face of highly variabl… Show more

“…The goal of the researchers for the system was portability and rapid deployment, focusing on a very different set of requirements than our system. Panchard [9] suggested a system for monitoring agricultural measurements in India. A prototype system ran for at least one year in an outdoor controlled environment, consisting of 10 nodes communicating via embedded Mica2 radios with selectable radio frequencies (exact frequency not specified in paper).…”

“…COMMON-Sense Net [11] consists of a wireless network of ground-sensors for agricultural management in rural semiarid areas. Sensors periodically measure the soil water content and send it over multi-hop to a centralized processing unit, where data fusion is performed.…”

“…Several relevant work on WSN systems supported by working prototypes are present in literature [4], [6]- [8] and in the scope of research projects [9]- [11]. However, none of them fulfills all requirements for large-scale and dense real-time monitoring [12].…”

“…In India, many government, private and research institutes are implementing WSN for natural resources and agriculture monitoring applications, e.g. GramyaVikas: A distributed collaboration model for rural development planning (Adinarayana et al, 2009), COMMON-Sense Net: improved water management for resource-poor farmers via sensor network (Panchard et al, 2006;COMMON-Sense Net, 2011), etc. Sensor based services of Bhuvan for Land, Weather, Ocean and Disaster management (NRSC, 2011), environmental sensor based services of Ubiquitous Agriculture (uAgri C-DAC, 2011), mobile based agricultural advisory system mKRISHI (mKRISHI, 2011), etc. are few examples of the application of sensor technology for monitoring natural phenomenon.…”
