Remote monitoring of waters quality from reservoirs

Abstract

Water bodies have seen a rise in chemical pollutants in recent years. Therefore quality testing has become an essential part of treatment. Currently in India, monitoring of water quality is done by physically going to water bodies and collecting samples which are then sent to be tested in laboratories. This is time consuming and inefficient method. To automate this process, water quality monitoring sensors, arduino IDE and RF module are placed in water sources. The sensors gather data like pH, temperature and turbidity which is forwarded to arduino IDE for binary to digital conversion. This data is transferred by radio frequency transmitter module to the lab, thus eliminating the need of physically going to the water bodies, ensuring real time on demand data of contamination level and also acts aswarning system for hazardous levels of contaminants.
