描述了一种由传感器节点阵列组成的水传感器网络，该传感器节点可以随机分布在整个湖泊或饮用水水库中。使用中间节点作为中继，经由声波将各个节点的数据传输到主节点。传感器网络的每个节点是数据路由器，并且包含能够测量感兴趣的环境参数的传感器。根据所需的应用，每个传感器节点可以配备不同类型的物理，生物或化学传感器，允许长期，广域，现场多参数监测。在这项工作中，水的传感器网络的描述，与应用程序的pH值测量使用磁弹性传感器。除了确保饮用水安全外，水传感器网络的可能应用还包括先进的工业过程控制、水生生物群落的监测以及废水流流出物的监测。
An aqueous sensor network is described consisting of an array of sensor nodes that can be randomly distributed throughout a lake or drinking water reservoir. The data of an individual node is transmitted to the host node via acoustic waves using intermediate nodes as relays. Each node of the sensor network is a data router, and contains sensors capable of measuring environmental parameters of interest. Depending upon the required application, each sensor node can be equipped with different types of physical, biological or chemical sensors, allowing long-term, wide area, in situ multi-parameter monitoring. In this work the aqueous sensor network is described, with application to pH measurement using magnetoelastic sensors. Beyond ensuring drinking water safety, possible applications for the aqueous sensor network include advanced industrial process control, monitoring of aquatic biological communities, and monitoring of waste-stream effluents.
