Assessment of water parameters using Z-test for planning of aqua monitoring system using underwater sensor

Aquaculture planning and development is a very important process that will enhance and mentor the growth of the sector, while ensuring its long-term sustainability with environmentally and economically. In this proposed work, we have considered two rivers; Netravati and Sita which flows west coastal region of India and join Arabian Sea. These two rivers were studied with the planning of aquaculture and development carried out by deploying the underwater sensor nodes. Assessment of water parameter such as temperature, Salinity, Dissolved oxygen, Turbidity and pH values, and these parameters directly effect on the growth of aquaculture. For a time period the water parameter readings are stored and Z-test analysis applied for a hypothesis with respect to water parameter to evaluate the significant variation between two rivers. The analysis recommends the suitable place, fishes and guide an aquaculture development and planning process.
