26. Scheduling-Based Energy-Efficient Water Quality Monitoring System for Aquaculture

Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing food sectors with great significance on the economy. The production is directly dependent on the quality of water used. Monitoring the water quality parameter help to reduce the cost as well as to improve the yield. Efficient management of energy is crucial for water quality monitoring system for aquaculture. Especially, since, long-term monitoring is required in a remote environment. The monitoring system can be sustained by harvesting renewable energy from sources such as solar and wind. Still, without efficient energy management, it is not possible to run the system for a long time. This work aims to improve the energy efficiency of the water quality monitoring system for aquaculture by implementing sleep and wake-up scheduling. In this work, we present a simple sleep and wake-up scheduling technique to the sensor nodes in the water quality monitoring system. The developed system has hardware as well as software part which help us for collecting, storing, and communicating the data. The experimental results show that the energy can be saved, and battery life can be prolonged using this technique.
