Development of Water Quality System to Monitor Turbidity and Temperature of Water Using GSM Module

Abstract

This paper presents designing a Smart Monitoring System of Turbidity and Temperature of Water which to be applied at the river, sea as well as lake areas. Water is a crucial need for human survival, plants as well as animals. Due to Malaysia encountering a vast increase in population, industrial development as well as climate change, the level of water pollution is spiking affecting the aquatic lives as well as the source of water. The increased use of chemicals in industrial sectors and fertilizers in the farm has contributed extremely to the overall reduction of water quality. This is where the real-time water quality monitoring system comes in. This system is aimed to check the temperature of the water and to monitor the turbidity level in the water. Today, Remote Sensing (RS) techniques are used for monitoring, collecting and analyzing data in different areas of research. Hence, this low-cost water quality monitoring system’s prototype used electrochemical sensors to manage water quality parameters and notify the users Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) technology. With the presence of Smart Monitoring System of Turbidity and Temperature of Water, the ease to monitor the environment is expected to be achieved to improve water quality. The outbreaks of water-borne diseases can be prevented, the life of the aquatics is well preserved, and the overall quality of life is enhanced with the availability of the good quality of water.
