Advances in low-cost low-power wireless sensor devices has increased the demand of using wireless sensor networks (WSN) in various applications. WSN can be considered as one of the most modern methods for transferring data in areas that lack usual power sources and depend on battery or renewable energy sources. These low power sensors allow for the collection and transfer of measured data for a particular application. The transfer of data can be local over one hop or it can span several hops and utilize various technologies. In this paper we discuss how a distributed WSN can be used for automating the measurements of liquid level at the 33 different wells and tanks located within the campus of Birzeit University. Simulation of the designed WSN was done and results are presented.
