ABSTRACT

Water has still vital importance to extinguish forest fire. In large, contiguous, hilly forest
areas with medium to high fire risk, it is necessary to build and maintain artificial reservoirs
besides natural water sources. Artificial ponds, dams, underground water tanks can be used as
fire fighting reservoirs. These water extraction points should be sufficiently identified
regularly controlled and easily accesible by fre engines.

In this study, an online tracking system was developed to control water depth, water
temprature in water reservoirs and weather temprature around these reservoirs. This android
based-online tracking system will provide information about not only the situation of fire
fighting water reservoirs but also about the environment and increase success in forest fire
protection.

Online tracking system can also be used for many similar purposes. For example almost all
the houses in Cyprus have water tanks in different parts of the houses because of water
shortage. These reservoirs have no any control unit. Users can only be aware when water has
finished. It would be useful to be able to control and have information on the capacity of these
reservoirs beforehand.

It is also possible to design android based-online tracking system to collect environmental
data.

ÖZET

Orman yangınını söndürmek için su hayati öneme sahiptir. Orta ila yüksek yangın riski olan
geniş, bitişik, engebeli ormanlık alanlarda doğal su kaynaklarının yanı sıra yapay
rezervuarların yapılması ve sürdürülmesi gerekmektedir. Yapay göletler, barajlar, yeraltı su
depoları yangınla mücadele rezervuarları olarak kullanılabilir. Bu su çekme noktaları, düzenli
kontrol edilen ve itfaiye tarafından kolaylıkla erişilebilecek şekilde tanımlanmalıdır.

Bu çalışmada, su derinliği, su rezervuarlarındaki su sıcaklığı ve bu rezervuarların etrafındaki
hava sıcaklıklarını kontrol etmek için bir çevrimiçi takip sistemi geliştirilmiştir. Android
tabanlı çevrimiçi takip sistemi, sadece yangınla mücadele eden su depolarının durumu
hakkında bilgi vermekle kalmayacak, aynı zamanda çevre hakkında bilgi sağlayacak ve
orman yangınları ile mücadelede başarıyı artıracaktır.

Çevrimiçi izleme sistemi birçok benzer amaç için kullanılabilir. Örneğin, Kıbrıs'ta evlerin
neredeyse tamamı, su sıkıntısı nedeniyle evlerin farklı yerlerinde su depoları
bulundurmaktadır. Bu rezervuarların herhangi bir kontrol birimi yoktur. Kullanıcılar,
depodaki suyun bittiğinden ancak su bittiği anda haberdar olabilmektedirler. Bu rezervuarların
kapasitelerini önceden kontrol edebilmek ve bilgi sahibi olabilmek kullanıcılar için son derece
faydalı olacaktır.

Çeşitli çevre verilerinin toplanması amacıyla da android tabanlı çevrimiçi takip sistemi
tasarlamak mümkündür.
