IoT Based Stormwater Quality Management System

Abstract

Many elements of the world and their climate area unit susceptible to continuous degrading the quality of stormwater and rainwater that can be of daily use instead of it being wasted, now many authorities and smart city developers are planning to set up a continuous water quality management system on the water collected from rains and storms, to have a continuous monitor over the quality and useability of the water caught in the tanks overhead of all buildings. Other than one facet of stormwater runoff, that might contain other level of pollutants likes oils, petrochemicals, lead, mercury, phosphates and nitrates. Other level of pollutants are also present which widely determine the drinkability and useability of the water, which are total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, pH, BOD, COD, etc. For which the use of sensors with Internet of Things (IoT) devices are most efficient, accurate, feasible when building a monitoring system. Continuous monitoring and displaying the calculated data on an LCD screen and on a cloud server of Think speak that allows authorization to multiple users to access the data remotely and at any desired time. Using analog sensors and cumulative formulas from some parameters we calculate and get calibrated and accurate values from all sensors IoT here plays a very essential role and gives an upper edge than other traditional or chemical methods, as it provides much better response time and flexibility than any of the other methods. Using IoT devices also gives a huge scope in upgrading the system for further complex situation and demands with fast changing scenarios
