Wireless Sensor Networks Framework for Water Resource Management that Supports QoS in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

According to a study by the Water Bank on Water Management, it has been predicted that about 4 billion of inhabitants will be facing severe water strain. The shortage of clean water possessions is the foremost challenge being faced by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The goal of this research paper is to present the sketch of a framework for on-going research. This research aims to develop an efficient reliable water management architectural framework using wireless sensor networks that support Quality of Service (QoS) in the KSA. The proposed framework is using n-hop sensor cluster based on idle times of a transportation module visit to the cluster. The suggested framework is a flexible network architecture constituted of a huge amount of independent sensor clusters, travelling backbone network along with a data reservoir, in addition to a collecting module. The major components of the suggested framework are re-configurability, fault tolerance, modularity, and differentiated services. The architecture addresses practical issues in the operation of the sensor networks.
