Wireless Water Monitoring System for Aquaculture and Environmental Professionals
- Summary
- The technology provides aquaculture farmers with real-time information on multiple key quality parameters of the water they use to grow their livestocks.The technology is a wireless sensor network, which helps end users to be kept informed about water quality in areas under their supervision. The wireless sensors are easily deployed and need minimal maintenance. The sensors stream live data about basic water parameters, such as pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen and salinity to the users? own mobile device or desktop through an online server application. The online system stores and processes the data according to users? criteria and able to send notifications, when conditions are no longer optimal. Using this technology, aquaculture farmers will be benefited with higher farm yields, higher quality of livestocks, and higher efficiency farming process with rapid alert and feedback on farm water quality.
- Technology Benefits
- This technology offers aquaculture farmers the following benefits:Helps to maintain optimal water conditions for fish, prawn breeders to achieve higher yieldEmail alerts and notifications when water parameters are not suitableEasily deployable wireless sensorsLow maintenance (no wiring and on-site server needed)The sensor network can cover large open areaSensor nodes can be extended to other types of sensorsLive water monitoring system through mobile devices or desktop computerHistorical graph review of past measurements
- Technology Application
- This technology is primarily targeting the following water based sectors, although not limited by them:AquacultureExtensive, semi-intensive aquaculture farmsLand based aquacultureControlled environment aquaculturePrawn, fish, oyster breeders (sea- and freshwater) Environmental monitoringOpen water bodies in ecologically sensitive areasWater reservoirsRivers, lakes
- Detailed Technology Description
- The technology consists of three main components.First is the battery operated sensor node, which is able to send data wirelessly from the attached optical or electrical probes. The built-in wireless chip?s range is up to 4km outdoors and able to relay data through any of the nodes in range (mesh network). The pH and dissolved oxygen sensors need regular, but infrequent re-calibration. The second component is a customized internet gateway, which receives and transmits data from the nodes to the internet through telecommunication network (2G/3G). The third component is a cloud-based application, which is a customizable monitoring and alert software, where users have access to live information from their sensors and able to set alerts for certain conditions.
