A real-time water quality monitoring system.

Abstract

Since the 21st century, there has been lots of inventions, but at the same time, pollutions and because of this, there is no safe drinking water for the world’s pollution. water utility operators are vested with task of extracting water, treating it and supplying it to the customers. Most water quality operators with national water and sewerage cooperation not being exclusive follows a conventional method of monitoring water quality where samples are manually collected from different suitable locations, taken to the lab to be tested and recorded. This method is however inefficient because its time consuming and tiresome and doesn’t give data in real time. With the advancement in technology, the internet of things has been incorporated into water quality monitoring systems. The real-time water quality monitoring system makes the use of sensors which take readings for water quality, processes them using a micro-controller to which the sensors are always in constant communication and finally displays the results to an LCD onsite, causes a buzzer to sound if the water quality parameters are out of the range, and also send the water quality information to a database of a website.
