The first part of the dissertation introduces Precision Agriculture (PA) systems and the importance of water quality and field monitoring. The work presented in this thesis addresses the problem of enabling wireless communication among the electronic devices deployed for water quality and field monitoring through a heterogeneous communication protocol and architecture. However, the remote location of most fields presents a problem for providing wireless coverage to the sensing nodes and actuators deployed on the fields and the irrigation water canals. Furthermore, the quality of the water for irrigation can be monitored to ensure the safety of the produce for human consumption. The introduction of technological solutions in agriculture allows reducing the use of resources and increasing the production of the crops.
