ABSTRACT :
Wireless Sensor Networks are wireless connective networks which sensors compose their main components.
Sensors are deploying and are connecting with each other in environment dynamically. In this paper we present
a model for processes which are related to user of water, electricity and gas(meter reading, distribution of bills,
sending notice, cutting and reconnection of flow) by using wireless sensor network. We are using VB software
and embedded c for our result.
Keywords- wireless sensor network, user process, electricity, water, gas.

computer system cuts and reconnects flow by

this; when computer system after notification
checking and delay times make decision to cutting
flow, sends one code by its wireless sender to
supposed wireless network. The code will be routed
by wireless network routing algorithms and arrives
to supposed meter or node. By receiving this code,
meter enables one key that causes to cutting the
flow. And in some cases that we need to reconnect

and SMS sending system. Certainly, we can add
many abilities according to each office's
requirements to proposed model. So we can mention
proposed model abilities as follows:
• Meter reading with one wireless system
and
synchronously.
• Sending meter cost via email or SMS.
• Recognize and sending notification to
every one who must receive it because of
