Abstract :
The present work is to develop a smart wireless sensor network (WSN) for an agricultural environment. Monitoring of environmental factors has increased in importance of water level management to increase the underwater level. In agricultural environment we have to consider various factors such as temperature, moisture content available in the soil depends on that the water flow will be allowed and the amount of water flow range and amount of pressure to be retrieved. In this approach to measuring these factors in an agricultural environment two options to be given that is manually taking measurements and automatic process the sensor data is checking them at various times. If the ability to document the details changes occurred in the sensor field extend this to remote monitoring using Wimax, anywhere we can monitor and control the agricultural field with smart irrigation system using these sensors with the help of Wimax. In this based on Wimax technology the sensor nodes sends the data wirelessly to the central server and collect the data.
