Sewage Monitoring System Using IoT

Abstract

Since most smart cities are built with subterranean drainage systems, keeping them clean and hygienic is exceedingly challenging. So, there is a huge possibility that this sewage may get clogged and cause pollution to the environment. So, it very much essential to have sewage monitoring system that could easily detect the blockage in the man hole. Sewage pipelines are very narrow and deeper pipelines which are the major source of poisonous and hazardous gases. The accumulation of waste in the sewage for extended periods as well as chemical processes taking place on them results in the development of several dangerous gases with exceptionally high concentrations, including hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, carbon dioxide, and methane. Therefore, breathing in these gases for an extended period can result in chronic ailments and even death. In this system, to monitor sewage, IoT technology is used (which uses gas, ultrasonic, temperature, and heartbeat sensors), to detect the presence of blocks in the sewage and also used to measure the concentration of toxic gases present in the sewage.
