Development of Smart Water IoT System to Assess and Monitor the Quality of Indian River Water

Abstract

The growing threats to river water quality demand innovative approaches for effective monitoring and protection. This paper proposes an Internet of Things (IoT)-based river water quality monitoring system to address this challenge. The proposed system utilizes a network of sensors strategically deployed within the river, measuring crucial parameters like temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and conductivity. Sensor data is continuously transmitted wirelessly to a central hub for processing and analysis. Utilizing cloud computing platforms, the system enables real-time data visualization and analysis, allowing for prompt identification of potential pollution events. Additionally, the system integrates alerting mechanisms to notify relevant authorities, facilitating timely interventions. This paper presents the design, implementation, and field testing of the proposed system, along with a thorough evaluation of its performance. The results demonstrate the system's effectiveness in capturing comprehensive water quality data, facilitating real-time monitoring, and enabling proactive water management strategies.
