Abstract In this paper, we study the various technologies available in the market for SMS based canal pipeline water management. We motivate our research and provide a conceptual introduction which illustrates the need to increase or decrease the level of water, by activating 3 different water gates represented by water pumps here. If there is need to increase the level of water, we can do, decrease the level then also we can do by two different SMS. Subsequently, we suggest general system architecture for this mobile based irrigation system application for farmers and discuss related design decision. This design has been implemented as a prototype which we named “SMS Based Canal Pipeline Water Management”.

1. INTRODUCTION Wireless device has been gaining popularity in decent year. Cellular phone and other wireless device have driven demand for new wireless technology. While traditional wired solutions provide a sense of reliability, convenience

has become a large part of consumer’s needs. We now have everything from blackberry units, to Wi-Fi enabled phones.

However, a marketing media has played a large role in the consumer’s perceptive a wireless device. Wired technology has been around for ages. In 1st become popular in the early, 1990’s with the introduction of the telephone network. Currently, this is the most reliable way to transmitting/receiving data or voice on the planet. The internet itself transmits a large amount of data through fiber optic cabling but also employs a large amount of T1/T3 lines that run over standard copper wiring.

2. WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK Wireless sensors network comprises of small sensor nodes communicating with each other in an ever changing network topology i.e. which keeps on varying. These wireless nodes or Berkeley motes (or simply motes) have embedded electronic sensors along with battery’s and RF devices. These sensors sense and detect various environmental parameters such as temperature, pressure air pollution etc. they are also deployed in monitoring of agriculture smart homes, structures, passive localization tracking etc.The major component at a typical sensor network are: sensor field, sensor nodes, task manager, sink

3. Applications of sensors network



AIR QUALITY MONITORING-The degree of the pollution in the air has to be measured frequently in order to safeguard people and the environment from any kind of damages due to air pollution. In dangerous surroundings real time monitoring of harmful gases is a concerning process because the weather can change with severe consequences. Fortunately WSN have

been launched to produce specific solution for people. 

INTERIOR MONITORING- Observing the gas level of vulnerable areas needs the uses of high end, sophisticated equipment, capable to satisfy industrial regulation.

Wireless internal monitoring solution facilitates keep tabs on large

areas as well as ensures the precise gas concentration degree. 

FOREST FIRE DETECTION- The network of sensor nodes can be installed in a forest to detect when a fire has started. The nodes can be equipped with sensors to measure temperatures, humidity and gases which are produced by fire in the trees or vegetation.



WATER QUALITY MONITORING- It involves analyzing water properties in dams, rivers, lakes and oceans as well as underground water reserves. The use of many wireless distributed sensors enables the creation of a more accurate map of water status and allows the permanent deployment of monitoring station in location of difficult access.



AGRICULTURE- Using wireless sensor networks within a agriculture industry is increasingly common, using a wireless network frees the farmer form the maintenance of wiring in a difficult environment . gravity feed the process to the fields and also give satisfaction to the farmer. watersystem can be monitored using pressure transmitter to monitor water tank level, pumps can be controlled using wireless input output devices and water use can be measured wirelessly

.4.2 Proposed Work and Implementation The idea behind this project is to use the existing GSM infrastructure. So, all the operations involve the gsm



ACCURATE AGRICULTUREWireless sensor network let users to make precise monitoring of the crop at the time of its growth.

Has farmers can immediately know the state of the item at all its stages which will ease the decision process regarding the time of harvest.



IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT- When real time data is delivered, farmers are able to achieve intelligent irrigation. Data regarding the fields such as temperature level and soil moisture are delivered to farmers through wireless sensor network .when each plant is joined with a personal irrigation system , farmers can pour the precise amount of water each plant needs and hence reduce the cost and improve the quality of end product.

4. SMS Based Canal Pipeline Water Management System 4.1 Introduction This project is about the technique of GSM, which is used to make irrigation system better for a developing country INDIA .Irrigation water management by SMS approach helps irrigators to determine how much water their crop has been used and how long they need to run their pump or drip system for each day using the latest in remote sensing wireless techniques and mobile phone based delivery services system also. As we send any sms, it goes through the gsm system. Any sent sms can be received if we use a SIM card and gsm module. To operate any gsm modem, we have to use the AT commands to operate them.

4.3 Snapshot of Hardware Design of The Project The snapshot of the project is shown below in which the picture has been taken that how the project will look after the finishing touch. The components are easily visible in this snapshot of the hardware of the project. The components used in this hardware are as follows:microcontroller, GSM modem, relay, capacitor, voltage regulator, mobile, pump, piezoelectric buzzer. These components are assembled in this project in sufficient manner. These are joined in a decent way with each other.

These components are joined with each other in such a manner that they all will perform their function properly.

Microcontroller is already programmed and also inbuilt components are present in there. All external components are properly interfaced with the microcontroller.

4.2.1 Conclusions: The researchers finally came up with the conclusion that the objectives in making the SMS Based Canal Pipeline Water Management System have been met and came out with the project prototype that we were aiming to construct.

Upon the completion of the study, we have come to the realization of Constructing a working prototype of a SMS Based Canal Pipeline Water Management System Fig 4.4 Connection of SMS Gateway

4.2.2 ScopeThis project is capable of: Sending messages using SMS, Sending off an alarm through sound using Piezoelectric buzzer determining the water level using Sensor switch circuits with floaters. This project requires: Power Supply (220VAC)GSM Modem Module with SIM Card, Piezoelectric Buzzer Sensor switch.

Project Limitation: The system can only function within the reach of the chosen GSM Service Operator. The Base Unit, which encloses the Microcontroller Unit, GSM Module and Buzzer/Speaker, is powered by 220VAC, there is no inclusion of alternative source of power in case of brownout. The GSM Module uses a Prepaid SIM Card hence, the system will cease to send messages when the entire prepaid load is used, but still can send off alarm sound using the piezoelectric buzzer.
