Abstract
Wireless Sensor Networks consists of a large number of sensor nodes, which are scalable, low cost, flexible, and easily deployable operated by energy constraint battery. WSN nodes play major role in the prediction of disaster in an effective manner by using different sensors such as rainfall, soil moisture, pore pressure, vibration and tilt. Landslides are one of the most common problems globally and India as well. Indian hill masses are prone to landslides from low hazard to severe landslide hazard. The Nilgiris district situated in the southern part of India on the Western Ghats is prone to High to Severe Landslide Hazard. The historical landslide inventory analysis of this area clearly reveals that the future landslide occurrence in the district is multifold and disastrous. Hence, efficient system for the detection and early warning is necessary in these areas. In this paper, heterogeneous cluster architecture as shown in Fig 1 is proposed by which the different sensors aggregate the data from the heterogeneous sensors, processing is carried by the cluster head nodes. The processed data are transmitted to the sink node. The energy efficient routing protocol is introduced which reduces the energy consumption by multifold.
