Water Utilization Monitoring and Supplementary Sourcing Strategy Using DASH-7 Technology

The main aim of the project is to design a generic wireless sensor network for real-time monitoring of water utilization and providing a supplementary sourcing strategy using DASH-7 technology. The purpose of such a model is to meet the demands of water despite the variations in primary water supply. Here a wireless sensor zone with Smart sensors is networked and communicated using ISO/IEC 18000-7 DASH7 protocol. Real time continuous monitoring of the logged data in the central server would enable quick identification of the status of primary water source to ensure continuity of water supply even in its absence. CC430F5137 SoC which is integrated with MSP430 microcontroller and CC1101 transceiver which operates at the operating frequency of DASH-7 technology (433MHz) is used in this project. An ultrasonic sensor HCSR04 which gives the status of the water source is interfaced to the microcontroller which sends information to the central station through CC1101 transceiver to take the necessary action. This system is developed for targeting the low power consumption and low data rate in remote areas.
