“Designing Wireless Sensor Networks as a Shared Resource for Sustainable Development” e.g. Water Quality Monitoring Application Presented by: Mahmoud Khairy

The Main Idea WSNs are becoming cheaper, but the sensors themselves remain the most expensive component. WSNs have great potential to be utilized as a shared resource  on-board processing  ad-hoc networking capabilities.

The Main Idea Sensor sharing will allow many people to benefit from sensor network data collection, even with minimal sensor resources. How?  Emulating Density.  Dense to Sparse Deployments.  Short Deployment Cycles.

The Main Achievements In Bangladesh, groundwater is dangerously contaminated with arsenic. Hypothesis: The influx of dissolved arsenic to ground water is greatly enhanced where irrigation for rice cultivation provides the primary source of aquifer recharge. We want to aid in validating this hypothesis.

The Main Achievements In Palmdale, California  Water scarcity in arid and semi-arid regions.  Reuse of treated wastewater! Use WSN at the water reuse site.  Ensuring that environmental regulations are being met.  Providing feedback to a water control system.  Optimize water flow  Minimize chemical penetration into the subsurface.

The Challenges Algorithm Issues  Robust and Interactive Deployment Algorithms Detecting Data Disruption and Faults  Monitoring Network Health Rapidly Deployable Systems
