Problem Statement
Problem Statement
The continual monitoring of aquifers is a common and important practice in research and consultation in environmental and agricultural fields. However, depth sensors for these types of studies are prohibitively expensive or obsolete when it comes to effective ways to transfer data. As industries adopt more efficient ways to conduct and transfer data digitally, wireless depth sensors provide the most effective innovation to previous depth collection tools, thus providing versatility and convenience for the users recording the data. This project uses a local coordinator hub that stores data from a mesh network of Zigbee-connected sensors while transmitting collected data to an off-site computer, providing convenient data compilation and sensor monitoring.
