Abstract In recent years, flooding in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam has become more and more serious, it affects much the lives and economics of the citizens. There are some reasons which caused this situation; among them the unfavorable natural conditions like rainfall, tide, are the crucial one. It is the reason why to build an intelligent network which is suitable for data collection precisely, rapidly and timely for water environment monitoring is essential. While traditional networks spend much money and effort to ensure continuous information in specific regions, Wireless Sensor Network is best known its advantages such as low cost, reliable and accurate over long term and required no real maintenance. Our contribution is that to build a network topology with suitable hardware and Low Energy Adaptive Clustering Hierarchy (LEACH) routing protocol in order to reduce energy consumption of whole network and prolong network life time. Fact has shown that LEACH protocol achieves a factor of 8–15 % energy improvement compared to direct transmissions. Keywords Wireless sensor network Network lifetime

1 Introduction A wireless sensor network consists of sensor nodes deployed over a geographical area for monitoring physical phenomena like water level, temperature. For a wireless sensor network design, to select a network topology and hardware are two N. T. H. Doanh (&)  N. T.

main points need to be considered for purpose of network energy efficient [1]. In traditional design, a network is designed with distance between nodes about 50–100 m. This means we have to use hundreds even thousands nodes to monitor a stage of a river. This, actually, is challenge because it required much money and time to maintain a huge system. Hence, firstly, a suitable hardware is chosen to guarantee transmission range at least from 2000 to 2500 m, saving energy and increasing network lifetime. After a long time study and test existed hardware in cutting edge technology, a table below makes a comparison some hardware [2]. MRF24J40 MB (Microchip ZigBee)
