Project: Smart on-line water salinity measurement network to manage and protect rice fields
Web
Who the project is aimed at
Rice farmers and rice-growing industries.
Project objective
To develop an automatic, low-cost, low-energy-consumption salinity sensor system.
Project description
This project develops a wireless sensor network consisting of low-cost electrical conductivity measurement nodes and an autonomous power supply based on energy harvesting, capable of transmitting readings to a central server in real time. These data enable growers to manage and protect their rice fields effectively and significantly reduce water consumption for flooding.
The patented system and its electrical conductivity measurement method may have other applications.
Project funded by the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme
